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

Hi Karen, career-wise, where do you want to be in the end?
My overall end goal in my business is to eventually team up with my husband and open our own shop. My individual business goal is to never stop learning & be up to date with business needs.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My Nail Art is what i am most proud of. I’ve always loved drawing, painting, oil pastels, etc. Nail art is what i enjoy the most when clients ask for it because it comes naturally to me. Some art is not easy, but i find time to figure it out. Trial and error, i find my ways and techniques.. but i don’t give in.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Interesting and must see spots to me, is anywhere with a scenary view. It can simply be sitting at a starbucks with a sun rising and we watch the colors change,.. so yes starbucks is a mandatory LOL or Id take my bestie to a hole in the wall restaurant, with music and outdoor seating & patio lighting and the sun setting. The time of day and weather is for sure a factor in AZ

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I will like to dedicate this shoutout to my Husband, Michael. The reason why i decided to have/built a small Business was Because he believed in me, He saw in me what i lack to see in myself on my gloomy days. His words of encouragment made me feel safe, powerful, and motivated. I knew that even if in my attempt, i failed…i had the satisfaction of trying, for him, whom was my #1 supporter.
