There's nothing in the world more gratifying than helping someone create the home of their dreams, and in the process, becoming good friends. And that is the heart of the business, according to Pulliam Morris designer Karen Menge. A partner in the firm, Karen spent high school and college summers assisting the founder — her uncle, Jack Pulliam — and found interior design to be a perfect fit. She went on to earn a degree in Art History from Converse College and a BFA in Interior Design from the University of Georgia. She has been a professional member of the America Society of Interior Designers for more than 30 years, a distinction that matters. Karen believes good design is both functional and beautiful. Her aesthetic is light, clean, simple; a mix of old and new; details that add character. But she is quick to say she keeps the wants and needs of her client in the forefront at all times. Designing for their lifestyle is what matters, she says. And I want to make the process fun.
