THE STUDIO
In 2020 Kari launched Sullivan Street, a print design studio partnering with artists, creatives and brands from around the world.
With a focus on collaboration and storytelling, the studio developed seasonal trend stories which in turn inspired diverse print collections.
In 2023 the studio shifted to a broader creative scope and is currently open to partnerships for bespoke projects.
PAPYRUS
Having joined the company in 2003, Kari has spent a large part of her professional career at Papyrus, first managing the visual merchandising department, and then as a Senior Art Director in product development.
In 2019, she left her full time role to launch her print design studio but continues to freelance for the brand, working closely with the editorial and creative teams, leadership and artists to concept and deliver exceptional product.
In her years with Papyrus, Kari was a principal contributor on many key projects such as the NYFW partnership, Taylor Swift collection and Bird & Quill brand launch.
BACKGROUND
Kari attended the University of California, Davis, graduating with degrees in Textiles & Clothing Marketing and English.
In 2014 she began painting in an attempt to peel herself away from the computer and use her hands. Watercolor is her very favorite, though she also experiments with other water-based mediums such as ink and gouache, as well as acrylic.
She lives in Northern California with her husband and 14-year-old son.
