Hi, I’m Kara

Founder of Hav Creative, an independent brand and web studio.

I specialize in creating thoughtful brand identities and websites that feel true to the people behind them.

My happy place is in the mountains, hiking or snowboarding. I’m usually outside with my dog, on a camper trip with my husband, or on my yoga mat.

My Values

These are the things I live by, and they shape how I approach every project.

My work is inspired by time outside, movement, and moments that feel clear and present. I bring that same approach into my work.

Time outside keeps me clear and grounded. It’s where I reset, think better, and come back to my work with perspective.
Yoga, walking, stretching, slowing down. Movement helps me stay present and focused, both creatively and personally.
Clear systems, fewer distractions, and design that does what it needs to do. Nothing extra.
They do. Enough said.
