Homes you can live in
Design that brings clarity, confidence, and a little calm to your construction chaos.
I’ve been obsessed with homes for as long as I can remember...
Starting at age seven, clipping and collaging my mom’s old Southern Living magazines like it was my full-time job.
Since then, I’ve watched trends come and go, but my design philosophy has stayed the same, create classic, livable homes that stand the test of time. With years of hands-on experience, trusted local vendor relationships, and a whole lot of tried-and-true tips up my sleeve, I guide my clients through every decision, tile, countertops, and everything in between, so nothing feels overwhelming or confusing. I take the thinking off your plate, hold your hand through the entire process, and make designing your home feel calm, confident, and, dare I say, enjoyable.
Ways to Work Together
New Builds
From the big picture to the tiniest detail, I design every aspect of your home, inside and out, working alongside you and your contractor from start to finish.
Remodels
We make smart, strategic design decisions that transform your existing space into something you’re truly proud to live in.
Virtual Design
A fully virtual, full-room design complete with clickable shopping links and a custom game plan so you can bring it to life at your own pace.
How it Works
(a.k.a. The Part Where You Exhale)
Designing or renovating a home comes with a lot of decisions, big and small. My process is built to take the overwhelm off your plate by giving you clarity at every step. Here’s exactly what it looks like to work together from our first conversation to your final reveal.
The Get-to-Know-You Meeting
We kick things off with an onboarding meeting where I ask all the practical questions I can’t decide for you, like single basin or double basin sink, so I can design with confidence (and zero guesswork).
The Design Phase
Once I have your answers, I get to work creating a cohesive design tailored to you and your home. The timeline here depends on the size and scope of your project. (Typically a 2 – 4 week timeline.)
Design Presentation Day (The Fun Part)
This is where it all comes together. I walk you through the full design step by step, explaining the “why” behind each selection and how it all works together beautifully.
Revisions & Refinements
After our presentation, you’ll receive a short set of revision “homework” so we can fine-tune the design. Once revisions are approved, we’re officially ready to move forward.
Build-Ready & Vendor Coordination
Whether you already have a contractor or need help finding one, I’ve got you covered. I take your approved design to my trusted local vendors and work within your allowance budgets to bring the plan to life.
Selections, Ordering & Hand-Holding
Throughout the build or remodel, I continue making and ordering selections to keep everything aligned with the design, timeline, and budget. You’re never left wondering what’s next. I’m with you the whole way.
The Big Reveal
When the dust settles, we wrap things up with professional photography so you can show off your finished, Pinterest-worthy space (and I can quietly cry happy tears).

Hi, I’m Katie, the designer behind the business.
And someone who truly understands how overwhelming building or renovating a home can feel.
I officially launched my design studio in 2021 after years of dreaming, learning, and taking a few scenic routes along the way. Design was always the goal, and after years of trial and error, I’ve built a process that works, one that brings clarity and confidence to every project. When I’m not designing, I’m renovating our own home, sharing DIYs on Instagram, raising two kiddos with my sweet husband, wrangling our pets, or serving as youth pastors at our church. I’ve lived the new build and renovation life and I bring that real-world perspective into everything I design.
