Hi, I'm Karen, designer and founder of knot a square.

My creative journey began with a love of painting, textiles, and architecture.  That passion eventually led me to theatrical set design and decades working in television as an art director and designer, shaping how color, pattern, form, and function come together. The bolder, the better!

Nature's kaleidoscope and the hidden geometry in everyday rhythms endlessly inspire me. I'm drawn to those moments where complexity simplifies into something pure and striking. That's the soul of knot a square: wearable art that's practical, joyful, and unapologetically bold.

My mission is simple.  If I can help you express your personal style with confidence and stand out in a crowd, mission accomplished!  Join me, where California cool meets confident color and pattern play.
