Hi, I’m Karen!

I’m an illustrator & designer based in Los Angeles with 9+ years of experience. My work lives at the intersection of story, emotion, and systems thinking — whether I’m building illustration systems, creating brand mascots, or visualizing abstract topics.

I work across brand, editorial, and education — always with warmth, clarity, and visual storytelling in mind. People often come to me for illustrations that feel smart and human — with just the right amount of personality! Let’s work together :-)

When I’m not drawing, I’m busy hanging out with my dogs or fostering a dog from Dogs Without Borders.
