What makes me different?

A PERSONAL TOUCH

As a freelancer, I work directly with you from start to finish, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision and business needs.

RELIABILITY YOU CAN TRUST

I don’t outsource to overseas contractors, so you can be confident I’ll be here when you need me — no disappearing acts, just consistent support.

TAILORED SOLUTIONS

I create websites that are easy for your customers to navigate, making it simple for them to find exactly what they’re looking for.

TIME-SAVING EXPERTISE

By managing the entire process, I free up your time to focus on your business, while ensuring your website works hard for you.

When you work with me, you gain more than a website — you gain peace of mind, a trusted partner, and an online presence that truly works for you.

Karen holds a degree in Fine Arts in Multimedia and Web Design from The Art Institute of Atlanta and a Master of Fine Arts with First Class Honours from The University of Auckland, Elam School of Fine Arts. She has been a practicing web designer since 2002.
