Karen Little's Background
​
Karen Little, the founder of Tips4LovingLife, is a seasoned technical writer, software designer, and illustrator with decades of experience bridging the gap between technology and creativity. A published author and enterprise-level web developer, she has also developed and led training programs for world-renowned manufacturing companies.
​
Her career began in the early days of personal computing, where she played a key role in technical documentation, interface design, and user education. As the founder of the non-profit Office Technology Academy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she created innovative programs that quickly trained low-income individuals in computer arts. She also owned and managed Clear Concepts, working as a consultant, trainer, and project manager to help Fortune 500 companies streamline workflows and adapt to new technology.​​
After moving to the New York area, Karen worked as a programmer and consulted for companies such as Standard & Poor’s, Nielsen Ratings, KPMG, and PaineWebber/UBS Financial Services, advising on industry standards and best practices in corporate environments. She understands the importance of aligning technical skills with market demand and is currently refining her expertise in 3D design and animation using Autodesk Maya.
​
Passionate about making complex skills accessible, Karen has always emphasized the practical application of technology. Today, she focuses on character creation, illustration, and self-learning strategies. Her latest endeavor, Tips4LovingLife, integrates her love for art, technology, and education into a platform that offers valuable insights into personal and technical growth while showcasing her projects.

What’s Next?
