As a contract designer, Karen’s abilities are put to work at Torque in myriad ways: weaving together loose threads, providing fresh thinking where needed, taking projects from beginning to end, and in general being a design mercenary with a strong stomach for tight deadlines. Karen believes in simplicity, cleverness, and humor in design and has a deep interest in handmade processes. All of which is why the projects under her watch have the distinct flair of a thinking craftsperson, avoiding visual cliches and digital signature of over-automated production. Never one to back down from a challenge, she relishes the fast-paced, creative work at Torque.
