konnichiwassup~. i'm karen. 

​

somehow my hyper fixation with a multitude of pop culture has led me to jobs where i get to work with my favorite properties. and somehow through it, i've gained enough experience to become the graphic designer and art director you're reading about right now.

​

i am fortunate enough to let my inner nerd out with every design project i get to do, and with it, sharing my love of being a fan to others. conventions i once got to go as a fan, i now create work for. i design social, print, and digital campaign assets as an in-house designer, but also bringing a voice to small-businesses and lifestyle brands. 

​

i thoroughly enjoy working with marketing teams to bring their visions to life and coordinating with the creative minds in photo, video, and my own creative teams to maintain a cohesive visual language.

​

when i'm not working, i'm probably binging anime, playing dungeons & dragons, reading a cozy fantasy, perfecting my matcha latte recipe, or heading to a concert (most likely k-pop).
