You interact with Karen through an app. When you begin, she asks you some questions about your outlook on the world to get an understanding of you. In fact, her questions are drawn from psychological profiling questionnaires. She – and the software – are profiling you and she gives you advice based on your answers.

It used the idea of passing a design back in forth, but in an opt-in sort of way. Grab a sheet and work on top of it. By using a physical sheet (and not a digital file), one could only print over previous designs. Give it a look.
