& process
From Concept to Completion, we create homes that offer an escape and a retreat.
Designing turnkey waterside residences for busy professionals and families is our firms niche. Katie specializes in two key concepts, design and construction, and is involved from framing to furniture installation.
Katie partners with her clients as their trusted advisor and project liaison, offering a personalized concierge service to ensure each client receives a tailored design, unique to their needs. Her dedication to her clients is noticeable through the friendships that are formed along the design-build journey which is why she only partners with a select few clients each year.

TESTIMONIAL
We love Katie’s refined and eclectic design aesthetic. She took our worn-out home and gave it new life. It’s now a fabulous reflection of us, with elegant, understated furniture, bright colors, and interesting patterns and textures in the dining and living rooms and kitchen. Katie has such a depth and breadth. Just as important as her superb design skills is her integrity as a business owner. She advised us on the best way to allocate our money to get the most from it. Her use of digital media to show us what to expect took a lot of the stress and uncertainty out of the process. Working with a designer is like tasting wine. It can be intimidating but Katie never exploited that. She always reminded us of what our goals were and kept us on track. We’re looking forward to working with her on more rooms of our home.
