Hello, I’m Karissa Skirmont and I help passionate entrepreneurs who are overwhelmed and tired of trying to figure it out by themselves!! I do this by building profound WordPress websites, designing powerful brands and digital organization.
I started my business as Kissa’s Kreations when I was 21 in 2005. In 2019 I renamed it to Profoundly Purple. Now 15+ years later I STILL wouldn’t want to be doing anything else!
My strength is to be able to see the full picture AND each of the tiny pieces that make up the puzzle of an online business. I have a holistic approach utilizing a “right-and-left” brain balance and using emerging technologies to fully leverage time and resources.
I LOVE technology and set my client’s mind at ease by coaching them through the steps needed to build a strong, branded, online presence.
I’m based in Kansas City, Kansas USA (Central Time) and have worked with clients internationally, in countries including Australia, Thailand, United Kingdom, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates.
For 2018-2020, I was the Lead Organizer for the Kansas City WordPress Meetup Community and annual WordCamp conference after being a co-organizer since 2014.
