Since forming the company in 2016, she’s earned a solid reputation as a bright, “loves life”, and talented designer who thoughtfully transforms spaces into delicious home experiences.
Karen’s style is clean, intentional, and just the right balance of form, flow and function. A good listener, a forever optimist, with a curious mind about all possibilities – her work mixes old and new elements, color, texture, pattern, and purpose to create a design story that is a reflection of the client’s vision. Her business acumen, leadership, and global adventures add to the value she provides clients.
A visionary and master problem solver, Karen starts everything she touches, with a simple question, “what is the end goal?”. This way of thinking keeps projects on schedule & budget and ensures everyone stays focused on the desired results.
A sought-after Tampa interior designer and tastemaker – Karen is an HGTV designer, a regular home décor expert on the nationally syndicated show DaytimeTV and our local FOX network, and she is a broadcast & content contributor for the National Association of Realtors.
Her inspiration comes from her world travels, getting to know her clients and their values, and their unique needs. She stays abreast of the latest design trends, technologies, and resources by attending top furniture markets and through her rich network of US and world suppliers. A lifetime student, Karen has studied the masters of architecture and design, art and style history, construction, lighting and color principles and theory, as well as innovations in building, materials and finishes.
Karen’s career started in Texas where she studied fashion and worked with top luxury brands as a visual merchandiser. Later, she founded an advertising agency and then became an international branding expert, addressing audiences around the globe on visual design/perception, branding, and entrepreneurship. She is also a twice-published business author of Brain Tattoos (AMACOM) and Brand Turnaround (McGraw Hill).
