Based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Kate is a spirited and driven designer with over a decade of experience, spending many years in professional architecture firms before forming her own practice.  With a determined approach to her work, Kate has a unique talent for honoring existing architecture while breathing new life into spaces through materiality and color.  She aims to create spaces that are authentic and expressive by articulating the beauty of contrast in her own way - turning out spaces that are intentional yet organic, functional yet beautiful, neutral and colorful, modern and classic, all reflecting the individual character of each unique client.  Using hands-on design, interfacing art into the built environment, collaborating with talented craftsmen, and creating a full, unified, thoughtful and beautiful end product is a constant goal.  She has a great admiration for the natural, inherent beauty of materials, and strives to make that show in all of her work.

​Kate obtained her degree in Interior Architecture from the University or Oregon.  Additionally, she has completed several intense furniture design and construction programs, one in Copenhagen, Denmark, where she traveled extensively studying Scandinavian architecture and design.
