Karen J. Wheaton

Creative Director and Lawyer

I grew up in rural Nova Scotia and learned from an early age the value of both making things and creating my own fun.  Now, having traded cool ocean breezes for the small-town charms of Flamborough, I continue to value creativity, curiosity and connection as the keys to unlocking all of the things that make life truly meaningful.  

In my work life, I apply these values to the way I work to solve problems and in my approach to building relationships with our team, our clients and our community.  My work keeps teaching me to let go of trying to be perfect and to instead embrace the messy work of striving for mastery!  

Outside of work, my spouse and I experience the ups and downs of parenting three children and I spend time caring for animals and taking up new hobbies.  Most recently, I am involved in a project that aims to offer more opportunities for people in our local community to experience the magic of live, in-person performance.  And who knows what will come next!  Whatever it is, I am grateful for the journey.
