From Our Clients
Kate and team came in mid-build and helped turn things around. From the revisions to with our selections to managing the schedule and trades effectively, she changed the narrative of the project. And when we had issues at the end, the team stayed on board to help us get on a path to rectification with the builder.
Nick | new construction
Kate took an impossible project and put plans together to make it happen and got all of the key players there!
Kathy | renovation
No one could have anticipated the hurdles we encountered. We couldn’t have done this without you - you took our dreams and turned it into our home.
Betsy + Steve | new construction
Kate was the support we didn’t know we needed. Had she been involved in the project from the start, we would have definitely stayed on time and on budget.
Lisa | new construction
From Our Partners
Kate’s attention to detail, communication, and documentation makes her one of our favorite design partners to work with.
Tim | flooring and tile professional
Working with Kate enabled us to have “boots on the ground” keeping an eye on progress. She was the point of contact for day-to-day questions and putting out “fires”. She also worked directly with our clients in all selections.
TR | architect, builder
Kate was able to help us work through conflict with a high need client, getting us on a path to resolution. She’s consulted on numerous projects and been a valuable second set of eyes on plans AND working with clients on selections.
Meghan | passive architect, general contractor
The reference pictures, written content, and downloadable resources make everything feel accessible and well-rounded. And having the documents printed and hung on site is a great help.
Dave | large-scale builder
Kate is organized in procurement, layouts, and documenting updates. Managing the fixtures is a big help, and having them on site, in the correct room, and labeled takes a ton of our guys.
