Hi, I'm Karissa — a people- and product-oriented, detail-obsessed consultant, strategist, and creative from Los Angeles. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with degrees in English literature and economics. I currently live and work in New York City, where I remain, as ever, a voracious reader, avid vintage shopper, and very fast walker.*

This Kandinsky painting that made me weirdly emotional when I saw it at the Met
*I like the first Jason Bourne movie, Pearl Jam, weddings, Georgia O'Keeffe's flowers, Joan Didion's essays, Munch's woodcuts, Magritte's weird neighborhoods, and Cezanne's "unfinished" landscapes. I drink mostly hot water, write long letters to my friends, do my best work very late at night, and am almost always cold. I strongly dislike coffee, slow drivers, sycophants, and spiders.
