Meet Karen Spears:

Karen Spears is the founder of Kareracter. Her life’s work is centered around creating a world of possibility for women in design and entrepreneurship. Growing up on the Southside of Chicago, I was known as the girl with neat hand-writing. It wasn’t until high school that she learned that writing inspirational quotes to my friends would lead her down a path of creative entrepreneurship. During her sophomore year in college, she taught herself how to digitize her handwriting and developed Kareracter, a graphic design studio where we helped budding business owners build their brands with personality. They take a human-centric approach when working with our clients and leverage mind-mapping to help clients develop a beautiful, yet functional visual identity. They also teach the everyday dreamer to organize their ideas, build a signature brand, and develop their business through mind-mapping.

Karen is an alumna of the University of Missouri with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and a minor in Business. She’s had the privilege of working for Google & Leo Burnett and served as a programming advisor for the Obama Foundation. In 2018, she was named Emerging Designer by the Professional Association of Design in Chicago, IL.

    We're meeting virtually, once month and have enjoyed chatting with attendees all over the world. We're committed to our small business community and GETTING SHIT DONE. Join us! Sunnyside Chats is co-hosted by Andi Mints Design and Indigo & Violet Studio.
