Kara McCallum, Creative Loop Design

Over a decade of working with beautiful things, Kara has developed a vast portfolio and many great relationships with longtime clients from Vancouver to Halifax. She is a true creative with that rare inner something visible only to the outer world through art and design. Her graphic design is all over the corporate world and her paintings hang in beautiful places and homes throughout the country. It’s no surprise though, since Kara first studied Visual Communication Design at Canada’s premier institute, Emily Carr, and then went on to the Design Institute in what is arguably the design capital of the world, Milan, Italy.
