The Lab
To strengthen the skills AI can't replace.
Tired of watching judgment, creativity, and sharp thinking fade as AI does more of the work? Let's move to bespoke, guided learning experiences that blend reflective practice, off-site immersion, and creative renewal.
Designed for leaders and teams navigating change in a shifting landscape, I re-root your practice and purpose with the future-proof skills to support the realities of your day-to-day work. Unlike traditional training programs, this approach is grounded in design and systems thinking, combining inquiry, embodiment, and experimentation to build the mindsets and capabilities needed for next-generation teamwork and delivery.
Ideal for:
Creatives, leaders, and founders seeking team-building or new ways of working
Formats:
Learning cohorts or curriculum, immersive training off-sites, 3–6 month guided engagements
Example Themes:
Next Economy Creative Leadership
Regenerative Futures
Customer Experience Design
Also available for:
Guest teaching and curriculum design at educational institutions

“Kara is a visionary design leader and getting to work alongside her as a fellow designer is a treat. She brings such a unique POV to every project and truly pushes everyone involved to imagine positive futures. At lululemon, she helped us explore climate futures through design and research. She led us in crafting data-informed future scenarios then supported us in translating those into innovative design solutions.
Kara's leadership and the way she engaged with our team surpassed anything I could have expected. I left with a new perspective on the design process and respect for regenerative design.”

CLIENT STORY
Turning learning into action
Online course design and development
Foundry by frog is a self-directed and cohort-based e-learning platform. I designed a sustainability-forward course to respond to the needs of organisations seeking to upskill and build awareness for their teams at the intersection of social and environmental impact by instructing on theory while providing actionable tools that could be applied at any level of the organisation.
