“Karin is a fantastic writer and collaborator. She is inquisitive, a great listener, and really helps bring forward the essence of your vision for a given project. She is way more than an editor or even a writer … she is an invaluable partner with whom I would recommend you consult in the very earliest stages of your work. She helped me with the School of Architecture’s strategic plan at the University of Minnesota and with my teaching, research, and service statement for promotion to professor, among many other projects. She embodies that rare combination of criticality and compassion, something I find in very few people. I would collaborate with her again in a heartbeat!”
Marc Swackhamer, Head, School of Architecture, University of Minnesota
“The Union of Concerned Scientists engaged Karin for a report with multiple products including an executive summary, white paper, technical appendix, and five case studies. Karin developed a comprehensive whitepaper outline that elucidated the structure and helped the report flow better. Karin read all of the text meticulously, highlighting any pieces that were difficult to understand for the reader, and provided suggestions for how to clarify the meaning. She read several iterations of the report to ensure the intended meaning remained even with extensive editing, internally and externally. I highly recommend Karin if you are looking for help completing a complex report.”
Jessica Collinsworth, Lead Midwest Energy Analyst, Union of Concerned Scientists
“Karin’s compelling interview skills and abilities to creatively integrate transdisciplinary and visionary ideas was refreshing, inspiring, and fun. Karin contacted me for a project on potential library programs in an urban-agro sustainable community, effectively orchestrated our free-range wide-scope discussions, and curated the ideas into strategic ideas and actionable steps for her client. Most impressive was Karin’s demonstrated skills in both blue-sky brainstorming and down-to-earth pragmatics. Karin is amazing, and I am very honored to recommend her services. The most discerning of clients will have their expectations far exceeded by Karin’s brainpower, strategic thinking and writing expertise.”
