About

At the heart of the studio's philosophy is a simple idea: design for timelessness, not trends. The work draws on European sensibilities and architecture - proportion, symmetry, and honest materials - and tempers them with a laid-back Californian ease. The result is a balance where heritage and contemporary elements sit together, rather than in opposition, in every space Katie creates.

Natural, high-quality materials are central to her approach. That same old-world-meets-new-world thread carries through every project, grounding each home in craftsmanship and character, regardless of where in the world it sits.

It's an approach built for the long term. Katie designs homes that are meant to feel just as considered, just as inevitable, in ten years as they are the day they're finished.

Client Testimonials

"Katie was beyond helpful! We covered so many different questions and topics during our consultation. She has an incredible eye and was able to quickly understand the overall look and feel I’m trying to achieve while giving me clear direction on so many of the details I had been struggling with. I left the consultation feeling much more confident in my decisions and with a clear path forward. Thank you!"

"Katie has been one of my favorite designers for a long time, and my consultation with her lived up to every expectation. She was incredibly generous with her ideas and had thoughtful, specific recommendations for light fixtures, rugs, pillows, decor, paint, and furniture composition. Her choices feel so distinctive yet inevitable for each space—like they were always meant to be there. She was so kind and forthcoming, and I feel so honored that she is making decisions for our home."
