Why I Created Feathered Arrow

Hey Friends! I’m Kari, the founder + head designer of Feathered Arrow. I wanted to introduce myself and tell you why my heart beats for this company. Nothing makes me happier than simply being around other human beings, whether it’s good friends or my family. I just love it! My energy comes from those around me and I’m proud to say I have some amazing people in my community.

My Journey + Passions

LA has become home for me and I’ve kind of fallen in love with this crazy city. Feathered Arrow was founded because planning events and creating moments was something I not only loved, but was good at. God lead me down this path at an unexpected time in my life, but I’m so thankful He did. I finally found a job where I didn’t feel like I was “working” and that’s a pretty amazing feeling! Working with my clients and bringing their vision to life is my passion. My heart beats for them and making their dreams come true.

Things I also love:

  • the outdoors (you name, I’ll do it!)
  • traveling
  • photography
  • finding new coffee shops with new + old friends and of course great coffee to go with it
  • chocolate
  • wonderfully scented candles
  • live music
  • discovering the city with friends
  • wine tasting is probably one of my favorite weekend activities
  • and lastly, building community is one of my biggest passions. (more to come on that but let’s just say it’s going to be pretty rad)!

How Feathered Arrow Serves Clients

I’m always thinking outside of the box! I love finding fun details to add to your event and making sure it fits you and who you are. Creating a moment that is special for you and your loved ones brings me the most joy!

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to get to know me + Feathered Arrow a little better! I’d love to work with you and get to know you better too, so come say hi on my homepage here! We’ll find a new coffee shop where we can chat about your dreams + how I can bring your vision to life.
