Holiday & Seasonal: Creative & Art Direction
Development of holiday and seasonal product requires a strong command of occasion-driven storytelling and collection-building. With an eye for both celebration and sentiment, my goal is to bring depth, craft, and category-aware nuance to every seasonal product or collection.
Featured below are some recent & favorite collections I’ve worked on with artists Yas Imamura, Lucia de Marco, Drew Europeo, Emily Taylor-Hicks and the Papyrus in-house illustration team.

A note from Chris…
“[Kari] is truly every artist's dream collaborator. Her creative briefs are always succinct and on point, giving just the right direction while leaving room for artistic expression. What sets Kari apart is her exceptional ability to bring out the best in each artist's unique style—she has an eye for understanding what makes someone's work special and knows how to nurture that vision.

Papyrus Holiday & Seasonal
Seasonal assortments feature a wide breadth of ocassions and milestones - from heavyweights (Christmas and Mother’s Day), juvenile-focused (Halloween), light relgious (Easter) and niche (Thanksgiving and Jewish New Year).
Working on seasonal affords an opportunity to explore more traditional art styles, dive into sender-receiver relationships with connective editorial and experiment with new materials.
Below highlight some product from a selection of holidays, including Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Graduation, Easter, Halloween and Thanksgiving.
