Conceptual. Journalistic. Attentive. Agency bred. Award winning. Long form and short. A decade of seasoning. Buffalo girl who lived away. Big heart. Small details. Thinker and doer. Out-of-the-ordinary. Urban homesteader wannabe. Laughs out loud.

Good communication design can help achieve any objective. I’ve spent years in ad agencies, solving all kinds of marketing problems. Now I do problem solving for you – without the agency. No VPs. No CPAs. No MBAs. No problem. I‘ll work to add a new pulse and freshness to your communications.

Kevin Karn
Kevin was the kid who took things apart just to figure out how they worked. His approach to design is pretty much the same. Get at the guts and put it back together to be even better than before. The result is work that's understandable, compelling, and unique. Kevin also likes mountaintop sunsets and puppies.
