A minimalist at heart with an eclectic personal style and a commitment to sustainable practices
Karen Bigiel strives to combine natural elements, long-lasting materials, and vintage furnishings with clients' personal treasures to create spaces with soul and down-to-earth elegance. Karen is a graduate of the Humber College Interior Design Program and has a rich background in corporate and commercial design spanning 20 years. Passionate about design and eager to pursue her own path, Karen took a break from her corporate career between 1997 and 2012 to focus on smaller projects during her children’s early years. In 2013, she founded bhive design, with the goal of collaborating with contemporaries and designing residential and commercial spaces inclusively.
