It’s Great to Meet You
About Me
Hello! I'm Karen Cooke, founder of KOG Digital. I don’t just build websites, I empower entrepreneurs to shape their digital presence with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. Whether it’s website creation or business setup, I make the process seamless, accessible, and tailored to YOU.
From Corporate Compliance to Creative Freedom
For 12 years, I thrived in London’s corporate world, working in law firms and as a compliance officer in an investment bank. It sharpened my eye for detail, strategy, and structure, valuable assets I now bring to every digital project. However, something was missing: the freedom to create, innovate, and make a tangible impact for individuals and small businesses.
I left London and took time off to focus on what mattered most: raising my daughter, home educating her, and exploring the world as a family.
Then last year, I built KOG Digital to help small business owners not just survive, but thrive. To strip away confusion and simplify the digital world so that anyone, regardless of experience, can create a professional online presence that truly represents their vision.
A Life Defined by Adventure & Intentionality
Six years ago, I traded convention for van life, seeking freedom, adventure, and deeper connection. For four of those years, my family and I explored the UK, France, Italy, and Spain, embracing the unexpected and honing my ability to adapt and find creative solutions – skills that are invaluable when navigating the ever-evolving digital landscape.
One of the most profound moments? Standing atop Mount Vesuvius, staring into the crater of a volcano that once reshaped history. Exploring Pompeii, walking through streets frozen in time, served as a powerful reminder that life is fleeting; we should build something that truly matters, both personally and professionally.
That experience solidified what I already knew: Success isn't about rigid hours or conventional workspaces, it’s about showing up fully when it counts. Just as I shaped my days around meaningful experiences on the road, I help my clients design businesses that fit their lives, not the other way around.
Nurturing Wellbeing: Finding Balance in Nature
Just as I believe in creating sustainable and accessible digital spaces, I deeply value the importance of mental and emotional well-being. To recharge and find clarity, you'll often find me hiking through the beautiful landscapes of the UK, patiently bird watching, or enjoying the peaceful rhythm of fishing. These activities provide essential moments of calm and perspective, allowing me to bring renewed focus and creativity to my work for you.
Championing Accessibility & Neurodiverse-Friendly Design
Your website should work for you and your audience, not against them. That’s why I embed ADHD-friendly design principles into everything I create.
From streamlined layouts that minimise distractions to intuitive navigation that makes information easy to find, I craft welcoming, accessible digital spaces that support users of all thinking styles because inclusivity isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity in today's diverse online world.
Beyond Business: A Life of Connection & Purpose
My business is built around what truly matters: family, learning, Mental Health and meaningful work. It fits seamlessly alongside my daughter’s home education, allowing me to balance work with her lessons, activities, and social experiences. This intentional integration ensures I bring a balanced and focused perspective to my client work.
When I dedicate time to clients, I am fully present, bringing my expertise, creativity, and strategic thinking into every project. Whether it’s evenings, weekends, or my dedicated hours at the community centre every Monday, you can be confident that when we work together, I show up 100%.
