Based just outside Asheville, NC, Karen personally leads every project and assembles a trusted team of designers, developers, and copywriters tailored to your needs. Outside of work, she’s often hiking local trails, planting milkweed to raise Monarch butterflies, or experimenting in the kitchen with vegan recipes — motivated by a lifelong love for animals and a deep belief in their right to live free from harm.
