Let’s get real. The construction industry can be intimidating, expensive, and overwhelming. For most people, a remodel or new build is potentially one of the largest investments they will ever make. In a process that can take months to years to complete, involve many decisions, and cost a pretty penny, the key to a successful project is truly the people.

The beauty of working with Kate is her relationship with clients and connection to their vision. She believes in showing up authentically and with empathy. As someone who has renovated three of her own homes, as well as dozens of client’s homes, Kate understands that renovation and building is never straightforward. Her goal is to guide you gracefully through this process and have fun along the way.  

At Kate King Designs, our focus and ethos lives in three areas:

    • Relational

      • This is YOUR house, so let Kate meet you where you are at. By listening, asking hard questions, and being transparent - Kate will use her expertise to ensure your vision and goals are heard.

      • All parties involved in the project matter—from the client, architect, and builder to vendors and tradespeople.

      Restraint

      • Kate believes in a streamlined and efficient methodology. Simplicity is always better in a complex process.

      • Decision fatigue is no joke. Kate curates and amplifies what works best (and eliminates what doesn't) to keep decision fatigue at bay.

    • Rooted in Reality 

      • Let’s dream - but then ground that in the realities of construction - from a structural, budget, and a timeline perspective.
