Meet Karrie Pittman | Owner-KarrieBelle Designs

We had the good fortune of connecting with Karrie Pittman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Karrie, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
I am proud to say that I am a fourth-generation Colorado native, born and raised in this beautiful state. Growing up in Colorado has had a profound impact on who I am today and how I approach my work.

My roots here run deep, and this unique background provides me with an in-depth understanding of the local culture and market. I’ve seen firsthand how our state has evolved and how the needs of businesses here differ from those in other regions. This understanding is invaluable when helping businesses navigate the Colorado market successfully.

In addition, my family’s entrepreneurial background has been instrumental. My grandparents owned a small business, and their experiences have given me insight into the specific challenges and opportunities that small businesses face in our region. It’s this intimate knowledge that allows me to tailor my services to meet the needs of local businesses effectively.

Furthermore, my previous role as an office manager for an international corporation gave me a broader perspective. I had the opportunity to witness how large corporations handle and disseminate information, providing me with valuable insights into the bigger picture of business operations. I can now leverage this experience to guide businesses in aligning their strategies and communications with larger corporate standards while maintaining the unique characteristics that make them thrive in Colorado.

In summary, my upbringing in Colorado, coupled with my family’s entrepreneurial background and my corporate experience, has shaped me into a professional who not only understands the local landscape but also has a keen eye for the broader aspects of business. I’m passionate about helping businesses in our region succeed and am equipped with the knowledge and experience to make it happen.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Absolutely, there are several individuals, groups, and resources that have played a pivotal role in my journey, and I’d love to dedicate this shoutout to them.
