Projects
Kate's design style is best described as a sophisticated blend of traditional and eclectic—anchored in timeless elegance while layered with unexpected details. Classic furniture silhouettes, rich upholstery, and refined finishes establish a sense of tradition, while bold accents, global influences, and personal touches infuse each space with character and individuality.

"Kate has such a wonderful way of finding the in-between; creating a space that fits your vision but will “never go out of style.” We are the trendiest of people but we don’t ever want to feel outdated. Kate listened to that, saw what we loved, and curated a living room and den area beyond expectation. We look forward to working with her again as our house continues to expand.”
"She was a breath of fresh air."
"For four years, I lived in a condo that didn’t feel like me. Kate changed all that. My space is now cozy, calm and streamlined. She gutted the main bathroom and transformed it into a luxurious, relaxing spa. She also updated my kitchen to make it much more attractive and functional. I would have never chosen the dining room furniture she recommended but it fits my style perfectly. There are so many moving parts when renovating a home and Kate was always on top of it and accessible when I had questions. I appreciate her warm, bubbly attitude. I’ve always been somewhat of a homebody and now my family and friends enjoy my home with me!"

"After two years living with a random combination of our belongings, my husband and I were ready for our home to be more cohesive and joyful. Our first child was on her way and we both had full-time jobs so we knew we needed help. Kate had so many great ideas. She made decision-making easy and completely managed the project. We love all the special touches she brought to our home, like an absolutely gorgeous built-in wood china cabinet she designed to display family pieces. And the peaceful Big Sur theme of the nursery to welcome our newborn daughter. Kate was always going above and beyond, like steaming the window treatments and hanging our artwork. She is so organized, thorough and collaborative. We look forward to continuing to work with her for many years. I already recommended Kate to a friend and she raves about her."

“Simply stunning! It’s ridiculous how much I love every room Kate renovated of my 20-year-old home. I wish I had done it sooner. Kate translated my vision perfectly. From the amazing, hand-painted, landscape mural on my foyer’s curved wall to the dramatic, cozy, all-black family room. Kate is every client’s dream. She’s patient, kind, organized and incredibly talented with an eye for color and staging. I can see why all her tradespeople like working with her. Kate brought so much positive energy into our space.”
