Karen Tye Bentley

After leaving university I worked for a multinational ceramic company as Designer then Group Design Manager for 17 years, but when my first daughter came along I took the plunge into the world of freelancing to give myself a better work/life balance. I now concentrate mainly on the greetings market whilst having the freedom to design for different products, bouncing ideas from one to another. I enjoy working to customer specific briefs, but relish the times when I can work on speculative designs and have a play with new ideas. I live in Staffordshire England, with my Husband, two daughters and our black Labrador.
