Hi! I'm Katie and I’m an interior designer who’s out to create bold, beautiful spaces that are packed with timeless inspiration and intention. I use my designs to shape meaningful living within my clients’ homes, helping them thrive within their day-to-day lives.
I’ve loved interior design since I was a kid with sketch pads full of drawings of home layouts and dream rooms. With a realtor/handyman/woodworker dad and later a contractor husband, I’ve been around home improvement forever. I spent years blogging and sharing my many DIY home projects as I worked to fix up and update our past and current home.
Having my two littles is what pushed me to finally pursue my passion full time and leave behind my decade-long career in marketing and communications. I’ve been so fulfilled creatively on this journey helping clients make their homes feel so much more polished, refined, and reflective of them, their family, and their story.
When I’m not designing, I love exploring new places, being anywhere near the water, getting a good workout in, and hosting friends and family. I’m a people person and really enjoy getting to connect with those I work with to form new friendships.
I hope to work with you to create your dream spaces!
"Her eye for design, attention to detail, and warmth throughout this process made it such a joy. I’m already planning to work with her again when I remodel my kitchen and bathroom. And if I ever move, I hope Katie will be there to work her magic again. She’s truly a gem. Thanks to her, we absolutely love being in our home—it finally feels like us. Cozy, functional, beautiful."
