About
There are many different labels I’ve put on myself over the years. Graphic designer, RISD graduate, YouTuber, artist, nerdfighter, just to name a few. Well, I certainly am all of those things, but hopefully by the end of these paragraphs you will get a more complete sense of who I am, beyond just a person who really likes using the font Gotham.
I am currently living in San Francisco and working as a visual designer for YouTube. I work on various creator/curator tools on the site, making them look beautiful while still being functional for a huge range of people. I started this job in July 2011, about a month after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design.
It’s crazy that I actually work at YouTube these days, since I’ve been making video blogs on YouTube for four years now. Through the years I’ve slowly grown my channel, which now has over 13,000 subscribers and almost 1,000,000 video views. Many of my most popular videos have been about graphic design, though I also vlog about such subjects as Harry Potter and art school. I’m a huge supporter of the community that has formed around video blogging on YouTube, and spent most of my college years balancing homework with freelance design work for other video creators, such as the Vlogbrothers.
If you have any questions about my work or my videos or anything else you see on this site, please send me an email at karenkavett@gmail.com, and I’ll do my best to get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for reading, and now go check out the rest of the site, which actually has real content.
