You have a clear vision for your future and a fierce belief in yourself and your ability to build a successful business. You know you could grow your business if only you were able to spend more time marketing yourself, creating products, and developing new ideas instead of spending countless hours and dollars on a website that never quite delivers.
Good news!
Whether you are just starting out or want to grow your current business, it’s absolutely possible to transform your business into a incredibly successful and immensely satisfying reality with one unique web design solution.
Hi, I’m Karen.
I’m a motivated entrepreneur who believes it’s possible to have a thriving business doing what you love so you can create a lifestyle you love. A lifestyle intentionally crafted around what really matters to you.
I’m an designer, trainer, and strategy-minded problem solver whose a bit of an introvert. I have a passion for smart web design and digital marketing strategies that work.
How does this help you?
I create websites that are more than just beautiful. They are profitable online platforms that help you create a thriving business. A business that becomes the catalyst to the flexible, fulfilling lifestyle you are striving for.
I use my creative art and design skills and my problem solving strengths to design websites and craft content that delivers a compelling user experience. One that attracts the right people to your business, establishes a connection, fosters trust, and carries them along the journey from virtual visitor to avid, loyal customer, which is exactly what your business needs to be the wild success you long for.
How I Arrived Here
Once upon a time, as a police officer, I worked in various capacities in Law Enforcement. My mission was two fold: investigate and solve crimes and utilizing community based policing strategies to improve the communities I served by keeping them out of harm’s way. I served on non-profit boards and continued to commit myself to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through these endeavors, I learned to use my knack for creative problem solving and my love for helping others.
Putting your life on the line day after day and night after night took strength, fortitude, smarts, and a whole lot of guts. It was one of the most challenging and terrifying things I have ever done. And yet, one of the most rewarding, but Public Safety had taken a toll.
A New Career Direction
Wanting to use my creative talent and desire to help others, I was determined to do work I loved from home and create a flexible lifestyle around my family. I learned to find inner peace from meditation and gratitude.
Creating things was a natural fit for both my talents and my entrepreneurial aspirations. As an officer, I completed my education, earning a BA in Business with an emphasis on talent development. Soon after, I earned a Master’s degree in Education and put my efforts into Training. As a volunteer venture on my children’s school Advancement team, I was an integral part of starting a school-based profitable retail store and pop-up shop, The Thor Store, and was asked to partake in many endeavours after that. Boosted by these successes, and having a ton of fun using my business creativity experience to help others, I set out to grow a business of my own.
A New Passion
Launching this business is how I discovered a love of web design. I had a zero budget for hiring a web designer, and plenty of DIY bravado. Diving into WordPress, coding, CSS, and graphic design, learning it all as I went, I created my own website.
The experience of building my own website was a catalyst to fulling my entrepreneurial dreams. I loved web design so much, I began creating websites for friends and family at first, and later for paying clients. I had finally found the perfect outlet for my artistic and writing skills – web design.
Knowing I needed better skills training to turn my hobby into a thriving business, I completed another degree in Digital Design and Business. With all my skills, talent, experience and training coming together in perfect unity, I launched my business as Branded Ink Digital.
A New Adventure
Until I became an entrepreneur, I believed my time in Public Safety was the most exciting adventure I would ever live. In reality, being an entrepreneur closely resembles my time in the Public Safety. It can be treacherous, difficult, and test my limits. It definitely takes smarts and a whole lot of guts, too. In fact, I’d have to say, launching Branded Ink Digital is not only fun, but truly the greatest adventure yet.
Except this time, I’m on a helping mission of a different sort.
Instead of helping the public, I throw a lifeline to capable, but maxed-out entrepreneurs. Through my unique approach to web design, my clients walk away from our time together with more than a beautiful website. They gain a profitable online platform that fuels their hopes for their future. They have the confidence that their investment will reap dividends of more time, less frustration, and greater business success for years to come.
