Karen L. Gamble, is the Founder and Master Coordinator for KaKe Creations and Connections Concierge Boutique.  Before branching out as KaKe Creations and Connections, Karen opened "This Bud's for You" Floral Boutique in Daytona Beach, Florida (1996) along with her brother Kevin and with the backing of her parent Barbara and Pete Gamble.  Karen loves designing, decorating, planning and coordinating events.  It was evident growing up that Karen had a desire to create beautiful things.  She would go as far as even assisting family and friends with weddings long before she had the business.

​

Although her passion for creativity blossomed through "This Bud's For You, she relocated to Washington, DC in 1998.  There she began her career with Lockheed Martin Corporation as a Senior Systems Engineer.  While working for Lockheed she completed her bachelors degree in Computer Information Systems and her masters degree in Management Information Systems.

 

Even though Karen had a career in information systems, she never lost her passion for creativity and soon developed another passion for travel as she traveled all over the world.

​

Karen returned back to Daytona Beach years later and it is her passion for taking the ordinary and transforming it into something  amazingly extraordinary that fuels her in her life and with the love for making people happy, KaKe Creations and Connections Concierge Boutique was birthed.

​

When Karen is not transforming and traveling, she enjoys spending quality time with her family.
