Design. Publishing. Books.

Magazine. Education. Speaking.

For more than five decades, I’ve done one thing in many forms: bring people’s vision to life. I started an advertising agency at nineteen, founded a learning center for gifted and creative learners, and went on to create Science to Sage Magazine, now in its seventeenth year. Along the way I’ve authored and co-created visual books, provided design and publishing work for businesses, innovators, and authors, hosted events, and interviewed some of the most original thinkers of our time.

Science to Sage E-Magazine & Podcast

For seventeen years, Science to Sage has explored the frontiers of science, consciousness, and human understanding. Founded and curated by Karen Elkins, the magazine brings together pioneering scientists, philosophers, authors, and artists to reveal the patterns that connect geometry, physics, biology, cosmology, and the world’s wisdom traditions. Through in-depth interviews and visually rich storytelling, each issue bridges rigorous inquiry and timeless wisdom, inviting readers to see the deeper architecture of the universe.

DesignWorks

Karen Elkins designs for clients who have ideas worth seeing. Her work spans books for authors and visual communications for corporations such as Morningstar and ShiftPod. Drawing on seventeen years of creating Science to Sage, she turns complex subjects into clear, striking books, magazines, presentations, and branding. 

Books

Karen Elkins creates and co-creates visual books where images do the talking. As the author of two books and co-creator of several others, she turns complex ideas in science, geometry, and philosophy into pages that readers can grasp at a glance.

Speaking, Events Interviews

Karen Elkins brings ideas to life on stage and in conversation. As a speaker at conferences and events, she shares seventeen years of insight from Science to Sage, taking audiences on a visual journey through the patterns that connect science, ancient wisdom, and the natural world. As an interviewer, she has sat down with pioneering scientists, authors, and visionaries, drawing out their work in terms anyone can follow. She is also a frequent guest on podcasts and shows, where she talks about the magazine, her books, and the art of making complex ideas visible.

Education

Before Science to Sage, Karen Elkins founded the Silbury Education & Resource Centre, a learning center for gifted and creative learners. Silbury gave bright, curious students a place to explore ideas in ways that suited how they think, and offered families guidance in finding the right support. Karen also created its resource guide, gathering tools, programs, and approaches for nurturing gifted and creative minds
