About Violet Crown Analytics
You’re great at what you do. The numbers shouldn’t be the hard part.
VCA is a small analytics studio in the Atlanta metro. We work with photographers, restaurants, fitness studios, wedding vendors, and other small businesses where one person wears every hat. We build the spreadsheets, dashboards, and reports that should already exist but don’t, and we do it without making you sit through a thirty-slide deck first.
The name comes from the Violet Crown — the deep purple-and-lavender glow that settles over the Austin hills at sunset. O. Henry called it that in 1894 and the city has been the Violet Crown ever since. Kara is from Texas. The name fit.
Section: The team
We’re three people. The work is led by Kara. Adrian and Ari take on specific pieces — Power BI builds, data cleaning, the kind of focused work that’s better done by someone who isn’t also running the rest of the firm.
Bio cards (three of them, side by side or stacked)
Kara Hudson Founder
Kara started VCA in 2026 after a long career in operations at AT&T, where she learned that the difference between a good business and a struggling one is usually whether the right person can see the right number at the right time. She lives in the Atlanta metro with her partner Zach, a pit bull named Remy, and two cats who pretend to tolerate the dog.

Power BI Specialist Associate
Our Power BI work is led by an associate currently completing a Master’s in Data Science. They build the dashboards that mid-size clients use to see what’s actually happening across their business — and they have the patience to make those dashboards understandable to people who didn’t ask for a tutorial.

Ari Holmes Data Associate
Ari handles the cleaning, structuring, and reconciliation work that has to happen before any analysis is worth trusting. If your customer list has 2,847 records and only 2,400 are real, Ari is the one who figures that out — and then tells you exactly which 447 went where and why.

Section: How we work
We start with a conversation. Most engagements begin with a 20-minute call where you tell us what’s actually frustrating, and we tell you whether we can help. If we can’t, we’ll say so.
Pricing is on the [Services] page. Everything starts at a posted rate — no “contact for quote” theatre. If the work is bigger than a starting rate, we’ll quote it before starting, not after.
We’re based in the Atlanta metro and most of our work is remote, but we’ll meet in person for engagements that warrant it.
Closing / CTA
If you have a number you can’t see clearly, or a spreadsheet that’s eating your evenings, that’s the kind of problem we solve.
