KARIN IS THE FOUNDER OF BUREAUK, which grew from a way of being rather than a business idea. Her career development unfolded in a series of chapters that each contributed to the formation of her vision, adding extensive experience, expertise and impressive breadth to her ever- expanding range of interests and formal education. Over time these experiences shaped a distinctive way of being. Radical attention is her praxis: recognizing and revealing the essence of people, companies, places and cultures and helping them finding ways to express it. Uncovering the essence is always at the core of her work. The forms through which she expresses this way of working may vary: Heartbeat sessions, cultural transformation, spatial design, writing and objects. She translates essence into forms that can be lived, shared and embodied. Because once essence finds its expression, it starts shaping everything around it — from the way people lead and work to the spaces they inhabit and the futures they create.
