But don't take it from me...

I have worked with Kari for 5+ years across various client businesses and can honestly say she's one of the best, most talented creative partners I have ever worked with in my career. She's detail-oriented, passionate & a strategic thinker that elevates the work by understanding client business needs/landscapes while having a deep knowledge of how to connect with consumers through creative expression. She continuously pushes the work to greater heights and drives thought leadership throughout her team by being a true, vocal leader that is respected & admired by all her peers.

Kari has extensive knowledge of what motivates consumers, insight into how to connect with them and create engaging customer experiences, and she has the passion to see the creative vision through to completion. She's incredibly articulate and persuasive, a fantastic writer, who also has a great eye for art direction, and will inspire any team to take their creative work to the next level. The beauty of it is; she also makes it fun to be on her team! Any Creative team would be more successful for having Kari's creative superpowers working for them!”

“Kari and I have been colleagues for over 12 years, despite not always working at the same agency. Kari embodies that rare blend of a creative visionary and caring mentor that you don't always find in a creative director. I've seen young writers and designers blossom under her guidance, and have watched her take an everyday, seemingly mundane assignment, and turn it into an innovative and ground-breaking idea. She is a fantastic partner for both her account and strategy teammates, and will always push for what's right for the work. I would jump at the chance to work with her again.” Dana Stotts SVP, Director of Customer and Channel Strategy, ARC Worldwide
