Through my travels and life overseas I have found that food isn’t only nourishing physiologically, but also mentally, socially, and emotionally. It breathes life and energy into our world so what’s not to love? In pursuit of combining this passion with purpose, I founded Sweet & Savory Designs to help other passionate foodpreneurs in creating impactful and purpose-driven brands that provide joy and nourishment to their communities.
About me
Hello, my name is Karyn Savory and my hometown is Littleton, CO even though there are many places I could call my home as I was lucky to grow up overseas, moving from one country to another. Before attending high school in Steamboat Springs, CO I had lived in Canada, England, Spain, Saudi Arabia.
Ever since I was little, I dreamed of being an artist. As I grew older and was introduced to the world of graphic design, I knew immediately that it was my true calling. Fast forward to nearly three years ago when a growing need for more flexibility to travel coupled with a strong desire to escape the daily 9 to 5 grind changed my life. Those feelings blossomed into a crazy idea that I never envisioned for myself… starting my own business focused on all that I love in life; food, culture, and creativity.
The story behind Sweet & Savory Designs began when my grandma, Dorothy Sweet, met and fell in love with my grandfather, Leonard Savory. He was her chemistry professor while studying at DU. You could say they not only had “chemistry,” but the perfect flavor profile for a fulfilling life together. Their love story then became mine. I like to think my name and its origin explains my obsession for all things food and beverage. In celebration of my grandparents, my vision is to create memorable experiences and spread happiness to others through food, culture and of course, design.
