Bio
Bradley Clarke-McLeod
Karen and I worked closely on various projects; her ability to conceptualize creative output in line with client’s expectations was of great value and ended up in creating huge business growth on very demanding business units. Over and above her ability to manage a diverse creative team she always made the time to be involved and impart her wealth of knowledge. Karen’s ability to see the big picture and then implement the design process in line with client’s deadlines was for me her greatest asset. Karen’s creative ability was just an added bonus.

If you are looking for innovative, beautifully layered design, combined with a clear grasp of consumer insight & brand strategy, then you will be blessed to work with Karen. She exhibits an inspiring creative talent and a rare (for our industry) calm temperament.
