✨ PERSONAL PROJECTS
To stay productive in my more structured role as an Art Director (my 9-5), I do all kinds of random projects in the background. For fun, to solve a problem, because the idea popped into my head at 3 in the morning after a particularly vivid dream. Whatever. I make it, and this is the home I’ve created for those things. Enjoy.

I like drawing. I like food. I like drawing food. So I made a TikTok account.
Here’s 3 of my favs. Check out the rest of them here.
A dabble in Surface Pattern Design
Again, a lot of food featured here. I’m starting to see a pattern…
👩💻 @kara.design
Are you a beginner graphic designer?
Wondering wtf to google to get the answers you need? I got you.
My entire work (and life) motto is work smarter not harder, so I made another TikTok to share the things I’ve learned over the years. Up until very recently I’ve been the solo in-house graphic designer at every company I ever worked at, so I’ve had to figure it all out by myself, so these are things I wish a more senior designer could have told me earlier. Shortcuts of all kinds to help you design faster, smarter and better.
Check it out here.
Eye spy with my little eye.
Started drawing one day and this happened. Not sure what it’s all about, but I like it.
👩🏫 kara class
For a hot minute, I considered creating a graphic design course. Did the branding, built the site, course outline, marketing plan, lead magnet, the works. Then as I started recording myself talking into the camera I realised this was way too formal and not really my vibe.
I love showing people cool things, so maybe a more specific course might come to fruition at some point in the future. For now, you can have the freebie I made.
It’s pretty cool, so enjoy!
