About Us

​After over 25 years as a project manager/business analyst and a decade of working for a non-profit, Karen Umphress started UP! Outside so she could work for myself and for you.

UP! Outside is a different kind of consulting company. Our laid-back approach makes it easy for you to work with us and our partner network. But it doesn't detract from our attention to details.

About Karen Umphress - I am a Certified Professional Project Manager (CPPM) from the University of St. Thomas. I have created and managed projects small and large: from comic books to large design guidelines; from a new software program to a full system software change-out; from a meeting to a training conference; and from a webinar to a full video training program.

Let's work together on your project to achieve success; and have fun while doing it.
