Taking Risks and Following Your Inner Voice w/ Karen Karch

Don't F*ck This Up

This week, Lauren sits down with Karen Karch, the Founder, Creative Director, Designer, and Owner of Karen Karch Jewelry. Karen is all about defying convention: from being the subject of her own internship at Parsons and pioneering the “Dangerous Jewelry” movement, to her innovative approach to fine jewelry design and the evolution of her iconic bridal line.

We discuss the importance of learning the hard way, the challenge of setting trends, and the need to create one’s own creative bubble. Karen shares insights on knowing when it’s time for a change: whether it’s a neighborhood, a killer rebrand or shifting from brick-and-mortar to online retail.

“I had a strong sense of conviction that I was just doing it, and nothing was going to stop me.” - Karen Karch
