Hi, I’m Karmen! I have worked in publishing for most of my career in both print and digital mediums. I have won awards for my work, which is great, but what I love is collaborating with editors and artists to make great a great product. I am tech-savvy and understand all types of printing from, forms in magazines, to 3-D printing projects.

I grew up working in my dad's Italian restaurant, so food presentation has always been a high priority in my life. I am grateful for all the amazing food content I was able to co-create with incredible photographers and stylists. 
I am a high-energy, positive creative leader and designer. I have always been a mentor/player and a hands-on designer.

I like digging into data to create a product the user would feel a strong affinity towards.

Animated Video teaching kids how to manage online Bullying.



This intentional lo-fi approach was sued due to budgetary concerns and also to stand out from typical animations that kids see. This minimal color palette would make a larger impact. It also worked with the serious subject of online bullying.



This was the mood board/direction I prepared for the illustrator/animator (See below). After the first round, we decided to strip down colors even further.
