Kari K Design specializes in branding, illustration, creative direction and consulting to help businesses like yours refine your messaging and improve the usability of your products.
Partnering with an understanding and experienced designer brings clarity to your ideas and processes.
How many times have your projects stayed on the back burner, only to be rushed to meet last-minute deadlines?
Do you look as good as your company is?
Are you being held back by inconsistent or misdirected messaging?
Have you dreamt of having a go-to person to give informed advice to help you achieve your business goals?
Do you need an expert to anticipate your communication needs before you even know what they are?
I know you want to walk away with a plan, not just a pretty picture to slap on your website and print materials.
My job is to help prepare your business for growth and give your product the finessing it needs to better connect with your audience.
And you're going to look fantastic doing that.

The Strategy
beauty + brains for every project
Design doesn't just make you look pretty, it also helps you make more informed decisions about your next steps. The more we work together, the more we can anticipate your needs and finish projects faster. We'll look at where you've been and where you want to go. Then we'll establish a solid foundation for brand continuity to keep your business flowing.
I will lead you through the design process as we work to build stronger connections between your business and the people you want to impress.
I founded Kari K Design to bring beautiful, intelligent design to hard-working visionaries and innovators. I place a high value on progress and functional, relational design and love any opportunity to bring a humorous twist to the mundane.
Over the past two years, I served as the Creative Connect Chair for my local chapter of AIGA, where I helped to recruit members and organize educational and social events for creative professionals.
I work to establish long-term relationships, both with your business and with other creative collaborators.
Whether you're looking for me to take on your entire project from start to finish, or to work alongside your team, I'm available for both ongoing or short-term help.
The Future
working with Kari K Design
Graphic design is about creating functional communication systems with aesthetic appeal. That's why our process begins with defining the desired outcomes of the project, assessing each stage of production, and understanding the heart and soul of the people who are at the receiving end of the finished product. Design is not only successful when its visually appealing to the users...it's successful when the design welcomes people to effortlessly engage with your company.
The Process
because design isn't magic
Project costs are dependent on a few factors:
• where you're at in developing your business
• length of the project
• third-party production costs and materials
• complexity of the work
• amount of strategy, research and ideation involved
in creating your unique product
As a small business owner, you will appreciate that I am resourceful and prioritize with the big picture in mind. You will also appreciate that I highly value the quality and integrity of our work together. In order to provide this level of service, I work selectively with those who value our partnership for what I can bring to the table, and who view our work together as an investment in the future of your company.
When you hire me, we become a team. It's in my nature to look for ways to be flexible and provide alternative solutions to save money or time and keep us in line with your business goals.
