"Katie is brilliant with her approach, expertise, and resources. It's been a wonderful experience working with her on our living room and bathroom. We loved our two sessions, from layouts to sourcing, she was very generous with sharing all of her knowledge. We got a ton done in such a short time! We can see how much it probably saved us in headaches and things we would have had to change. It was well worth the investment! We look forward to working with her again!

"My consultation with Katie was super helpful and couldn't have been more worth it. I was really stuck about what to do with some key kitchen design decisions and she suggested a number of amazing options and even mocked them up for me. She gave me a ton of great design ideas and finish suggestions to get me to a place where I feel happy and confident about my new kitchen.

"We booked a session to get advice on a home addition layout to better communicate our plan with the architect. We gave Katie a completely blank slate. In one session, we ended up with a layout of the first floor, complete with possible door, window, furniture, and major fixture placement. She also gave design recommendations along the way, with pictures so we can share a very clear vision with our contractor. Katie was patient, knowledgeable, and professional. The Expert staff was also great! "
