Well, Karen might not be nearly as cute or interesting as the rest of us ... but she does have kind of an important role around here. Our mouse brains do well on coming up with ideas ... but our little mouse paws are really not so great for the actual design part of the business. Karen is much better at that than we are. With both parents being artists, Karen has been surrounded by creativity all of her life. Although graphic design has been a part of all of her previous jobs, Karen has finally decided to start her dream job of having a graphic design business.

 

In addition to being useful, Karen has some mouse-like features that made us decide to make her an "honourary mouse". She is shy so is very good about being as "quiet as a mouse". She loves cheese - especially parmigiano-reggiano on her salads and pasta. She likes small spaces and lives in a 240 square foot tiny house (big by our standards but tiny by human ones). And, although she grudgingly lets her daughter's cat live with her, she is definitely not a cat person. She is a dog (and mouse) person through and through. And Nova, her Golden Retriever, loves everyone so we don't have to worry about sharing the office with her. Nova fits in perfectly - she even has a bit of visual impairment herself (from trying to make friends with a nasty cat when she was a puppy). We think that the five of us make a great team!
