About Karen

Seattle writer and consultant with blonde hair wearing a maroon leather jacket, black top, and jeans, sits smiling on outdoor concrete steps.

I’m a writer and consultant who believes clarity creates momentum.

I’ve led strategic planning, rebrands, and transitions as Chairperson of the Board for the Center for Active Living, served as Interim Executive Director for the Housing Development Consortium, and built Housewarming, an award-winning interior design firm in Seattle. My lived experience with profound, loss, grief and reinvention provide me a unique perspective and human-centered insight into  leadership and launch work.
