During the Christmas period of 2017, Karen went into collaboration with Abigail Warner (a luxury stationary designer based in Derby).  Karen combined the use of European culture with contemporary illustrations after working briefly with personalisation in Selfridges London.  Having lived in Lausanne, Switzerland and briefly in Paris – she learned about the traditionalism that lies in both regions – and from her documented sketches (which can be viewed on Instagram), she and Abigail founded the motifs that would sell on personalised wrapping paper in Jelmoli Zurich and Le Bon Marche Paris.
