With studios in London and New York, Pearlfisher create design which connects strong brand truths with powerful desire. Founding Creative Partner, Karen Welman, will join us for an evening that showcases the work and culture of Pearlfisher. 

Karen is an award-winning graphic designer. Her entrepreneurial streak is a magnet for many of the challenger brands with which Pearlfisher works, attracting a diverse and innovative range of like-minded clients.

Since becoming a mother of four, Karen’s career has evolved from designer to inventor. Her patented inventions include a range of temperature-regulating baby clothes featuring NASA-developed fabrics. This award-winning brand has picked up a host of prizes, including the Kind & Jugend Innovation Award 2007, The Good Design Award in Japan and double gold in the Best Inventors Awards. Using the same material, she launched Dick Moby’s – a range of men’s underwear designed to keep the crown jewels cool.
