How to Choose Opportunities That Support Your Vision | Interview with Karen Burton

With so many different opportunities being presented to you as an entrepreneur, how do you decide which ones to pursue and which ones to pass on? We had the pleasure of speaking with Karen Burton of SpaceLab Detroit who walked us through her journey as an entrepreneur, and how she was able to stay true to her mission and vision, no matter the project presented to her.

Karen is co-founder and CEO of SpaceLab Detroit, a shared office and coworking community of urban innovators who create smart solutions for their neighbors and the city. Building on her 30-plus years experience in the design and construction, she recently co-founded A/E Collaborative, consulting firm that brings together small firms to work on big projects. Karen’s experience includes technical expertise, design, and construction documentation services for such projects as the One Campus Martius building (formerly Compuware Headquarters), The Lions Training Facility, Ford Field, Greektown Casino in Detroit, and City Center in Las Vegas. She also taught architecture and interior design courses at Metro Detroit-area colleges. She also consults with construction and design professionals on marketing and business strategy.
