Karla Pámanes: Graphic Design

It’s crazy how this was a dream and now it’s here. I think back on how scared I was of being on my own, in my career and in my personal life. I knew it would be a challenging path and I just had to focus on the good stuff, on my work and my son. Now, I’m excited to teach everything I have learned about brand design from my 15 years of experience in my course and to help my clients with their brand identity needs. Being on your own is a lot of work, but it’s been good and I’m grateful—when it gets overwhelming, I just take a step back, look at everything I have accomplished so far, and say to myself: I got this.

Karla is an award-winning designer, branding expert, and mentor based out of San Antonio, Texas. She has designed for brands such as HGTV, Food Network, Facebook, in addition to several other amazing companies. Her focus is on building branding that tells a story and reflects the core values of a company. Her motto is to “be the person you needed when you were younger”. She created “The Brand Design Academy” to share the knowledge and experience she has learned over her 15 years of experience with corporate brands and small businesses.

Many have written about Larsen Jay and his now nationally-present charity Random Acts of Flowers. However, as it often happens with success, we only see the tip of the iceberg – the end-result, the success – but are not privy to the rest of the story. What happens before success is achieved and how does one get to it? I sat down one afternoon and asked Larsen about his paths and passions, understanding more about the man behind so many great production projects and great initiatives benefiting the Knoxville community.
