Karen Marley, second daughter of Bob Marley, was born in England in 1973 but grew up in Jamaica. Karen has always had a passion for fashion and interior design influenced by her great grandmother, father and growing up in Jamaica. While growing up, Karen would always envision ways to design and decorate the house by moving the furniture around and bug her great grandparents to add on features to the house or redo the bathroom. She was only 6 at the time so she really wasn't taken seriously and instead, was sent outside to play.

After graduating high school in Jamaica, Karen went to Canada to study interior design. The birth of her son, Jody-Nesta, brought her back to Jamaica where she then opened up her own interior design business and store.

In 1996 Karen moved back to London and decided to make an addition to her career where she attended the Vidal Sassoon Academy and became a hair stylist. While in London, Karen bought her first investment property and soon got into the property development market.

The opportunity to express both her passions is what brought Karen to Los Angeles, where she now works as an assistant designer for Catch a Fire Clothing and Tuff Gong Clothing, as well as a property developer.
