meet the designer
Hi! I’m Karen, a Sydney based industrial designer with experience in graphic, furniture and small appliances design. Passionate about beautifully designed products, hands on model making, woodworking & textiles. Obsessed with all things to do with Japanese & Scandinavian design.
I’m very driven to create & build stronger relationships between people & their products. Designing products & experiences that positively impact us everyday is incredibly fulfilling. I’m fascinated in the way products function & how they serve us in our day to day lives.
Designer by day, violinist by night.
I am also a freelance violinist, teaching violin students weekly & performing in commercial events & celebratory functions.
