Master Designer, Typographer, Illustrator, Trainer, Writer
Karen Curran is passionate about her work and helping those in business. She has been a graphic designer and illustrator for more years than she cares to remember and knows design and print inside out. Her extensive knowledge and attention to detail is what makes her regular clients return year after year to her business, Unicorn Graphics.
Karen believes that attention to detail, having things ordered and presented beautifully, enhances the image of any business.
Karen’s love and history of art and design began long before the advent of computers. As a little girl she was always drawing and dancing. After matriculating from St George Girls High in Sydney she studied and trained in all facets of art pre-production and typesetting, then worked in advertising and media for many years. Companies included KVB Visual Concepts, Dalley Middleton Moore (known as Dalleys or DMM), Murray Publishing, EMI Records and Thomas Marsden Advertising.
After beginning her own studio in 1987 as Unicorn Art & Design, Karen eagerly changed over in 1989 to computers leaving the chemicals and bromides of a Compugraphic typesetting machine and bromide camera behind. Skills and software are constantly updated - based on a Mac but prepares files to cross both Mac and PC - and Karen's technical expertise, (she is also a Certified Trainer), enhances knowledge and services to the clients of Unicorn Graphics.
Karen resides in the Blue Mountains with her husband. They have a combined grown-up family with grandchildren.
