Inspired By:

People. I love engaging and learning from my clients, colleagues & contractors. It brings me great joy seeing a client light up during the visioning and schematic design phase. I am captivated watching them touch & feel the finishes I selected and get excited for what is to come. I love walking through a project after completion and seeing them occupy the space in the way I had always imagined. I consider my colleagues my close friends and I am fortunate to continue to learn from and bounce ideas off of them.

Keys to a Successful Project:

Discovery, creativity, relationship & transparency.

Interests Outside of Work:

Besides hanging at home with my husband James, pup Beatrix & cat Bella – I love to travel, take photos, try new restaurants and spend time at my grandma’s lake cabin in Northern Indiana with my family.

“Kate is an amazing talent in our health interiors practice here in Chicago. She is a recognized leader in our studio and mentors many of her junior colleagues. Kate leads with confidence and is often commended by clients for her ability to connect with them in a meaningful way.”
