  • It has been almost two years since Kate transformed my office interior, and I still get at least two compliments every week on the design of the office. Even clients who have been coming to the office on a regular basis mention how much they enjoy coming into the space. I hired Kate to help design the interior of my three room office suite. I needed space for consultations, massage, and exercise training. I cater to clients who expect organization and professionalism and I myself am a bit of a stickler for things looking just right. I wanted a modern, high energy, welcoming feel to my space. I got more than I expected (in a good way). The office turned out marvelously. She integrated not only the company colors but also the overall feel of my company's brand. The office was well-appointed, had an incredible amount of well-organized storage (important for what could otherwise turn into a messy situation), and gave off an aura of warm professionalism. During the design process, Kate was speedy in gathering information, samples, and resources. She coordinated a multitude of tasks that I only learned about after the fact, and had concise diagrams and plans that she used to coordinate with the building's management to get the project done on time. The building managers were extremely impressed with her efficiency and organization, and the project was done on time! If you're looking for a true pro to handle your interior, Kate will not disappoint. She sets a professional tone from the start and will see your project through to the finish.
