An early art director of Hamptons Magazine, Kari’s long-term local client relationships include the Hamptons International Film Festival, Southampton Hospital and the Animal Rescue Fund (ARF).

She has a keen design aesthetic and architectural eye, as well as a long-held devotion to Long Island's East End and sustaining its unique and fragile environmental. Kari is a passionate adventurer, camping in the Serengeti, scuba diving around New Zealand’s Poor Knights Islands, and snorkeling with whale sharks in La Paz. She brings the same tenacity and boundless energy to meet her clients' needs.
