I'm Kara, a designer currently based in New York.  Originally from sunny Perth ~ traditional land of the Whadjuk Nyoongar people ~ my experience spans multiple industries. I love working on brands and projects with stories that need to be heard and am most passionate about strategic, narrative design and art direction. I am currently working independently and with my talented colleagues at Islyn Studio.
