Hello!

Käaren Provence

Business Consultant & Creative Director

Experienced professional with over 15 years of experience in leadership, human resources, consulting, and creative roles.

I'm a small-business owner and consultant with 15+ years in HR and organizational leadership roles. As principal of Salt Creative Agency, I partner with small and mid-size businesses to strengthen their organizational and HR processes, build learning and development systems aligned to how their teams actually work, and modernize their digital presence—from websites and branding to online training and e-commerce.

I have a heart for rural and small businesses, helping them grow in practical, sustainable ways. I believe meaningful learning happens in community—and that every organization, no matter its size, deserves thoughtful systems for developing its people.
