What are you most excited about at Kara Mann Design right now?
"Our business has grown exponentially over the past few years, which I’m obviously thrilled about. We’re winning more out-of-town assignments, both nationally and internationally. In fact, I’ve just opened a NY office to handle all of the projects we’re working on there, so it’s been a whirlwind, but a ton of fun. I’d be remiss not to mention how grateful I am for the design teams I have in place in both offices. Their constant flow of ideas defines creativity at its best, and there's no better possible zone for a designer."

On Kara: Rodarte for Opening Ceremony dress, Chrome Hearts belt and bagles, Christian Louboutin shoes.
