As a mother of four, Katie has developed a signature approach that balances sophistication with practicality, creating interiors that are as functional as they are beautiful. Her projects reflect a passion for fresh design, an eye for detail, and a deep-rooted belief that your home should rise to meet your everyday life.
Above all, Katie is dedicated to creating a thoughtful and fun process for her clients. You can always expect clear communication, honest guidance, and a design partner who listens closely and treats your home with the same care she gives her own. From the first conversation to the final pillow, she keeps the process organized and enjoyable, so the result feels effortless and unmistakably yours.
Raised in Kenilworth and now living in Winnetka, Katie is a North Shore native and a lifelong lover of old homes. She brings a warm, layered, classic sensibility to every project, honoring each home’s character while making it work beautifully for the family who lives there.
