Expertise

Having moved to three different states in the last five years (Oregon, New York, and Colorado), Kara knows a thing or two about making the most out of your living situation. She believes that our homes can directly impact the way we function and feel throughout the day. During her time on staff at Parents, Kara launched her own home decor and organization column named Save My Space.

After graduating from college, Kara hopped on a one-way flight to Manhattan to pursue her dream of working for a magazine. Within two weeks she landed an internship at Martha Stewart Weddings, and then went on to hold editorial positions at Town & Country, ELLE Decor, and Parents. In the office, she managed social media, digital content, print features, and all things SEO. After a good run in the magazine world, she decided to pursue her business, Kara Thompson and Co., full-time.
