karo bryant
head of people + culture
Karo joined shedkm in 2025 as Head of People and Culture, contributing to the strategic direction of our internal culture, nurturing a highly supportive environment with opportunity, autonomy and inclusion at its heart. Her role includes embedding our B Corp accountabilities and EOT structure, with strong social and environmental values and good governance at the heart of our organisation and activities.
She also supports our Directors and new business team in developing and nurturing industry relationships and networks. Karo has 20+ years experience in the architectural and design industries across a range of disciplines. She has a pragmatic yet warm and inclusive approach, seeing her role as one of stewardship rather than leadership.
Based primarily in London, she also splits her time between the Liverpool and Manchester studios to ensure we sustain our family culture and our focus on professional and personal development. She works closely with the Practice Manager, based in Liverpool, to champion staff health and well-being and to attract and retain brilliant people.
