MEET KATE

A considered approach shaped by life and professional experience

My appreciation for homes, colour and craftsmanship began long before I became an interior designer. It was later strengthened by decades in senior leadership, where accountability, preparation and sound decision-making were part of my everyday work.

Today I bring those experiences together in a design practice that is thoughtful, organised and personally led.
