How did you get into the field of Graphic Design?

I thought I wanted to pursue a fine arts career, but when college came around, I froze. Stumbling aimlessly, I was introduced to graphic design. Within graphic design, I found the opportunity to express creativity with purpose and strategy. So far so good.

Tell us about a book you read recently?

To the Greatest Heights was a book I read after spontaneously listening to a podcast about the author Vanessa O’Brien. This memoir recalls her journey as a woman in businesses and how it eventually led her down the path of becoming a record-breaking American-British explorer. The way she connected her mountaineering experience back to day to day life refreshed me.

What do you like to do around the city?

Gratefully, I have a strong group of friends and teammates from high school who I regularly play badminton with. There is nothing quite like a friendly but competitive, sweaty sport match to refresh and rejuvenate your energy and spirit.

Karen’s Next Goal

Experience living in another country. That is it, that's the goal.
