Hi there!
My name is Karyn Savory.
As an Alignment Guide and Brand Nutritionist, I help purpose-driven, heart-led, and wellness-rooted founders reconnect to their inner guidance so their life and business can evolve in alignment with who they truly are.
Through Sweet & Savory Designs, I use Human Design, Gene Keys, and intuitive brand strategy to guide founders and creatives through deep self-discovery and transformation, moving them from feeling stuck, unclear, or disconnected to designing a life and business that feel authentic, nourishing, and sustainable.
Rooted in a lifelong relationship with food, culture, and the human experience, my work begins from the inside out, supporting founders in trusting their own direction, expressing their truth, and creating a work that contributes to a more conscious and nurturing collective.
My Philosophy
I believe the most meaningful businesses are born from within. When we understand who we truly are, reconnect with our inner guidance, and learn to trust our own direction, we create the freedom to build lives and businesses that feel authentic, fulfilling, and sustainable. My intention is to nourish the founder first, because when people are empowered to show up as their truest selves, their businesses become a natural extension of who they are, creating a ripple effect of positive impact throughout their communities and the collective. It's about less forcing, more flowing, and creating a life and business that truly feed your soul, therefore nourishing others in turn.
my Human Design
My Energy Type
PROJECTOR
As a Projector, I’m naturally attuned to seeing people, recognising their potential, and understanding where their energy, gifts, and resources could be better directed. I’m here to guide, offer perspective, and help others see what they may not yet see for themselves.
This is at the heart of my work. I create space for people to pause, gain perspective, reconnect with themselves, and discover a more aligned way forward. For my clients, this means having someone who can see beyond the surface, recognise what is possible, and help them make meaningful shifts without feeling they have to figure it all out alone.
My Authority
EMOTIONAL
With Emotional Authority, my clarity comes through feeling, experience, and allowing time for the emotional wave to settle. I’m not designed to make important decisions in the heat of the moment or force immediate certainty. My truth becomes clearer when I give myself the space to feel, reflect, and arrive at decisions from a place of greater emotional clarity.
This brings depth and thoughtfulness to the way I work. I value creating space for people to explore what they are feeling, move beyond reactive decisions, and reconnect with what feels genuinely right for them. For my clients, this means being supported to slow down, listen inward, and make choices from a place of self-trust rather than pressure, expectation, or what they think they should do.
My Profile
5/1
HERETIC INVESTIGATOR
My 5/1 Profile brings together a desire to understand things deeply and an ability to translate that knowledge into practical solutions. I'm driven to investigate, question, research, and build a solid foundation of understanding, while bringing a natural focus on finding solutions, simplifying complexity, and offering new perspectives that can create meaningful change.
This is why I’m drawn to looking beneath the surface, connecting the dots, and getting to the heart of what is really going on. I want to understand the bigger picture, not just apply another quick fix. For my clients, this means working with someone who combines depth and insight with practical guidance, helping them make sense of where they are, envision new possibilities, and find a way forward that feels meaningful, achievable and truly fulfilling.
My INCARNATION CROSS
LEFT ANGLE CROSS
OF DEFIANCE
My calling speaks to a deep theme of challenging established ways of thinking, questioning what no longer feels true, and creating space for more authentic self-expression. With the gifts of inner direction, creative expression, understanding principles, and seeking answers, I’m here to embody a different way of doing things rather than simply conforming to what is expected.
This is a big part of why I do what I do. I believe we are not here to build our lives and businesses around rules, trends, or expectations that disconnect us from who we really are. I’m passionate about helping people question the status quo, reconnect with their own inner compass, and have the courage to create something that reflects their truth.
My clients are highly encouraged to step outside the box, release the pressure to follow someone else's formula, and discover what is possible when they give themselves permission to do things differently. It's not about rebelling for the sake of it. It's about creating the freedom to live, work, and express themselves more authentically.
A Love Story
The story behind Sweet & Savory Designs began when my grandma, Dorothy Sweet, met and fell in love with my grandfather, Leonard Savory. He was her chemistry professor while studying at DU. You could say they not only had “chemistry,” but the perfect flavor profile for a fulfilling life together. Meant to be, the marriage of Sweet & Savory was officially rejoiced on June 10, 1947.
Their love story then became mine. I like to think my name and its origin explains my obsession for all things food, wellness, and nourishment. As a child, I was lucky to grow up overseas, moving from one country to another, sampling all different cultures and lifestyles. My love of travel and affinity for transformative experiences, paired with my creative passion brought Sweet & Savory Designs to life in 2019.
It began as a boutique graphic design firm focused on branding for food and beverage though that chapter has now come to a close. While following my calling and intuition over the years, my business has evolved into what it is today; an intentional and loving space for founders and creatives to reconnect with their most authentic selves within the spiritual awakening and journey that is entrepreneurship.
