Karen Hunter, founder of Staging Magic began her career in the clothing industry where she sold, designed and merchandised denim jeans. She was also instrumental in traveling overseas to develop her own jean and active wear line. Through out the years, she has always stayed on top of all the current trends.

Eventually, her strength and passion for design has developed into decorating and creating beautiful spaces. She has a great eye for color and is not afraid to use it. She has also found the time to decorate the homes of family and friends, as well as her own personal experience of renovating her entire home.  Everyone had always said that was her forte, which led her to become interested in Home Staging and Design.
