Hello! I'm Karmen, an independent art director and editorial design specialist.
Experience
For the past 24 years, I have worked in different media industries and design agencies, on various brands and projects, both in South Africa and the Netherlands. My roots are in editorial content, and my love for visual storytelling include books, magazines, newspapers, supplements, corporate marketing and branding.
My art direction experience involves restyling existing publications, providing creative direction of new ones, directing photo shoots and commissioning and managing designers, illustrators or stylists in both small agencies and editorial team setups.
How I work
I am based near Cape Town but available for work worldwide. Although I’m perfectly happy working independently, I love working in teams and I have built up a solid network of partnering talent to collaborate with, depending on your project requirements. I work for my clients but aim for their audiences. If content is what you care about, please get in touch.
I look forward to hearing from you.
