Who is kk_nola?

I am Karen Kempf of New Orleans Louisiana - born and raised. The owner, creator, and sole worker of kk_nola LLC, with a background in Design and a M.S. in Environmental Education from an experiential traveling based school. My diverse education has supported me in my viewing the world holistically and being engaged in it with openness, respect, and creativity.

I hand craft each kk_nola item using primarily reused and recycled materials. Each piece of recycled paper that goes into the making of kk_nola journals is hand made by me in my humble work studio (a.k.a my outside back shed).

Why am I doing this?
