About Kara
I like to make things.
I always have. From writing stories, to crafting costumes, to creating photo & video content, my passion for creative expression has inspired countless projects over the course of my life, and has naturally evolved into an interest in design.
This enduring interest, as well as a knack for social networking, led to the creation of LightBloom Designs—a multi-faceted venture dedicated to helping small & local businesses realize their unique visions for their online and marketing presence.
I’m entirely self-taught, and LightBloom is my side gig—which allows me to offer a more personal, flexible, and affordable experience for my clients. My goal is to work closely with you to ensure your ideas are brought to life in a way that connects with both you and your audience.
Whether you're looking for a revamp or starting from scratch, I’m here to guide you through the process with attentiveness, dedication, and care. Let's bloom together. ☀︎
My Design Philosophy is rooted
in four key principles:
Functionality First
I believe that great design is about more than just aesthetics; it's about creating a seamless & meaningful experience for users. A beautiful website is important, but it has to work for both you and your visitors. My websites are intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring that the design enhances the experience—rather than getting in the way.
Authentic Expression
Your website, promotional materials, or social media presence should be a reflection of who you are and what you stand for. I aim to capture the unique personality of each client, ensuring the final design feels genuine and aligned with your business's vision.
Client Involvement
I'll work closely with you from the initial concept to the finishing touches, ensuring your ideas and goals are woven into every step of the design process. You deserve a product that not only meets your needs, but exceeds your expectations; that's why I offer simple revisions & adjustments during the design process—I want to ensure your project is exactly how you imagined it, and then some.
Continuous Growth
I’m always learning, adapting, and staying on top of trends. My goal is to create designs that not only look great today, but can evolve as your business does. I offer later revisions & periodic website updates as add-on services, ensuring your site stays fresh and aligned with your needs over time.
