Need help with a project or ongoing work?

How It Works

End-to-end delivery of content and marketing projects

When content piles up, websites stall, or newsletters fall behind, I step in to bring clarity, structure, and momentum so work gets back on track.

I don’t just complete tasks – I take ownership of delivery. I start by understanding what’s in motion, what’s stuck, and what matters most right now. From there, I turn your projects into finished, delivered work, whether I’m executing it myself or coordinating the right people.

The result is blogs that get published, websites that launch without last-minute chaos, newsletters that go out on time, and clear visibility across what’s happening and what’s next.

It lets you focus on the bigger picture, knowing the day-to-day work is being handled and nothing is getting left behind.

Working with Karen on developing a project plan for The Bookery’s 100th library launch was an invaluable experience. Her assistance brought structure and efficiency to what could easily have been an overwhelming process. The result was a well-coordinated launch event that reflected the significance of our 100th library milestone. We are deeply grateful for…the practical, user-friendly project management tool that became the backbone of our event management and something we are building on going forward with other projects.

Jacki Sands, Fundraising and Communications, The Bookery

I simply cannot recommend Karen highly enough. Karen took it upon herself to learn our business (South African immigration consulting) in order to draft content that was not only engaging and relevant but technically correct. Karen is creative, dedicated and highly professional, with a fabulous sense of humour to boot. I recommend her to any prospective client or employer and sincerely hope that I’ll have the pleasure of working with her again in the future.

Lynne Robertson-Williams, Director, Intergate Immigration

In 2020 Karen generously offered her Social Media Content Strategy services to the Santa Shoebox Project, a children’s charity with a social following at the time of around 100,000. Karen was a huge asset to the Team, bringing fresh, creative and original thinking and design. She always adhered to a strict timeline, while maintaining a light and positive approach. Karen has a gift for understanding a brand, for quickly adapting to the lexicon and to the design ethos. She works equally well on her own — delivering quality content on time — and in a team, graciously accepting and maturely responding to input and direction. I would not hesitate to recommend Karen to prospective employers and clients as a true asset to any organisation.

About Me

Behind the work

Hi, I’m Karen, a digital marketing and content operations specialist with 13+ years of experience across corporate, agency, and NPO environments.

I focus on the part of the work where things often slow down, where ideas exist, but follow-through is what makes the difference. When priorities compete and work feels scattered, even simple tasks can become harder than they should be.

That’s where I do my best work – bringing clarity, structure, ownership, and momentum so work can be completed properly.

My approach is practical and steady. I focus on what matters, keep things clear, and make sure what’s started gets finished.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me going for a walk in the forest, taking a dip in the ocean, or reading a good book. I have a soft spot for Kristin Hannah and biographies about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
