Hello! I'm Karine Parker

I’m a creative leader with 24 years experience shaping brands across print, digital, and physical spaces. I’ve spent over a decade and a half leading creative strategy for brand and campaign work at a B2B SaaS company, managing a team of designers and driving work from product launches to a full company-wide rebrand.

I believe good design is equal parts strategy and instinct, and I never lose the itch to make something better than it is. I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of creatives, staying curious, and never standing still when it comes to learning and growing. In a world full of noise, I think clear, honest communication matters more than ever, and it’s what drives everything I make.

My Work Experiences and Education

Take a look through my experience and education, a mix of hands-on creative work, leadership roles, and the foundation that shaped the path I’ve built and the person I am today.

Work Experiences

Senior Creative Director — Fusable (Randall-Reilly, LLC)
Virtual | 06/2010 – Present

> Senior Creative Director (2022–Present) > Creative Director (2018–2022) > Graphic Designer (2010–2018)

I lead a team of designers driving brand and creative work across Fusable’s SaaS platform, from product interfaces and marketing sites to print and event spaces, managing multiple campaigns and launches at once. I directed the company’s full rebrand from concept through rollout, and own creative and UX/UI direction across all 7 product lines, advising product teams on brand alignment along the way. I’m hands-on in the day-to-day, and genuinely invested in mentoring and growing the designers on my team. I also partner closely with Sales, Product, Content, and Leadership to keep creative aligned with business priorities.

Graphic Designer — Target Media Partners
Anniston, AL | 09/2002 – 06/2010

I designed print and digital ads, collateral, and website creative across six publications for a busy regional publisher, working under tight deadlines while keeping every piece on brand. I partnered closely with editorial, sales, and production teams to bring concepts to life, using type, color, illustration, and layout to tell each story visually. This role built the hands-on production and print foundation that carried directly into the digital and UX/UI work I later took on at Fusable.
