BUREAU K IS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY SOCIAL DESIGN STUDIO based in Vienna with a focus on redesigning the world, especially the working world. Our approach is twofold: we create office spaces that are full of life, and we introduce leaders to our approach: giving heartdirection = how to act from a conscious presence. 

KARIN IS A POLYCREATIVE and more than the sum of her education and her experiences which are in fact quite a few. She knows the world of consulting, as well as the corporate world, inside out. Which means, she spent a great deal of her working life in responsible senior management roles, always on a quest to push boundaries and aim for the extraordinary. She also served as supervisory board member, business angel and mentor to start up founders. Her personality and deep interest in art, design, architecture and philosophy, paired with what people who know her describe as aesthetic intelligence, make a combination that is quite unique and resulted in co-founding a studio back in 2015, which she also led as a CEO and finally flowed into running her own company, Bureau K Vienna.

WHAT KARIN SAYS ABOUT HER WORK:

“I am in the business of making people feel alive.”

“I never fit in a drawer. I refuse to be one or the other. I am all of it, all of the time.”

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH KARIN:

“Karin’s trusted attention. Her empathy. Her Intuition, or shall we call it, intentional attention to every detail, every move. She sees what you don’t see. Even, or especially, everything that’s invisible. (How people move through your office. How they approach each other. Whether they feel comfortable and save. Whether your space has life and inspires great work.)”

 WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH KARIN:

“I never felt better anywhere else my whole life than in my new office space created by Karin and believe me I’ve been to a lot of beautiful places in my life.”

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH KARIN:

“The experience to work with Karin on my essence / conscious being was a total game changer for me. I would even go so far and say up to this moment I existed on autopilot rather than I actually lived. I cannot thank her enough for making me experience who I really am.”

 WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH KARIN:

“The experience to work with Karin on my essence / conscious being was a total game changer for me. I would even go so far and say up to the moment I existed on autopilot rather than I actually lived. I cannot thank her enough for making me experience who I really am.”
