This is me on my birthday eating the top of the unicorn cake my extremely wonderful significant other had made for me. The cake also featured cats and guns. There's a story there. For another time, perhaps.

Hi! 

I'm Kara. 

Like it says up there, I’m a writer, creative leader, and content strategist, specializing in brand development and transformation.

I'm a curious problem solver, strategic thinker, and sucker for a good story. I am fiercely loyal and I love a challenge. I’m uniquely intuitive, well-researched, with a good eye, and keen ability to connect with my audience.

I believe there's magic in small details. And that great ideas are great, but it takes work to make great work. A lot of it, usually. I believe consistency is crucial and personality is everything. But not above clarity. Clarity's the king. 

I love getting to know the intimate details of the brands I'm working for and bringing their characters to life in fun, interesting ways that add value and keep them relevant. I love creating and being creative. I love collaborating. And I love being a manager. (I've had some great ones in my time, and I like to think they've rubbed off on me.) 

Aside from work, I'm a nature girl who loves the city, a mom, a runner, and a NY Mets fan. I love the ocean, delicious foods, birds, colorful things, and getting around on my purple bike. I’m especially weak for sweets, all things beautiful, and all things sci-fi. A native New Yorker slowly settling into Portland, Oregon. 

Here is my resume.
