ADC DESIGN SPHERE JURY CHAIR: KAREN WELMAN
Karen is an award-winning graphic designer and founding creative
partner at Pearlfisher. Her entrepreneurial streak is a magnet for
many of the brands with which Pearlfisher works, attracting a diverse and innovative range of like-minded clients.
Since becoming a mother of four, Karen's career has evolved from
designer to inventor. Her patented inventions include 37°,
www.37degrees.co.uk, a range of temperature-regulating baby
clothes featuring NASA-developed fabrics. This award-winning
brand has picked up a host of prizes, including the Kind & Jugend
Innovation Award 2007, the Good Design Award in Japan and
double gold in the Best Inventors Awards. Using the same material,
she launched Dick Moby's - a range of men's underwear designed
to keep the crown jewels cool.
And if that wasn't enough, she was voted one of the Top 10 Global
Female Inventors of 2006 in an award ceremony in Singapore.
Karen's insistence on pushing the boundaries both at work and play
has gained her a formidable reputation - one that her clients,
colleagues and family are wise to treat with the utmost respect.
