I'm a weekend baker.
search for #bakingthehabit on instagram to see my creations (@karen33).
I'm a traveller.
I love new adventures, but am a true-blue city girl, preferring to see bright lights of skyscrapers than the bright stars of a secluded beach.
I'm a crafty nerd / nerdy crafter.
I have a mish mash of hobbies that include the very analog cross stitching and the super charged online gaming.
I breathe and live digital.
I fell in love with digital in 2009 and have been a champion for it ever since.
(image: my first office in 2009)
I have both client and agency experience.
I bring a hot mix of both creative thinking and a strategic business mindset from my stints as an ad (wo)man and a client marketeer.

Karen is a great asset to our team at Tribal DDB. She's knowledgeable beyond her years not only in the business but also life in general.
A passionate team player and definitely someone with accountability and keen eye for creativity. Not only does she take direction well, she's able to provide value beyond the task at hand - that is possibly why she's well received by all her clients and peers.
A great asset any company can have. Apart from her extensive knowledge and passion for digital marketing, Karen is also an excellent mentor and leader by example. She is one who always have workable solutions and answers, and yet being able to drive the team to garner other possibilities.
With her lively and positive character as well as high tolerance for pressure, it comes as no surprise that she is well liked by clients and peers, and is always the go-to person for consultation.
Karen brought new capabilities to our team in social selling and digital intelligence, supplemented with B2B marketing skills. As program manager, she faced up to very senior management of Intel who ultimately are sponsors and fund owners, and she did so effectively and professionally at every step. She is very knowledgeable in her field and very quickly earned the respect of management and program participants alike.
On a personal level she is a real spark in the office and gets involved in a number of community and workplace programs. Karen would be sought after by any team.
