ABOUT KATHARINE

​

 

As a design professional for the past 20+ years, I have accumulated a breadth and depth of experience leading projects across a wide array of practices including workplace, experiential and recreation and with a specialized focus in retail store design, including large scale luxury department stores, brand flagships and specialty boutique stores.

 

I have a demonstrated history in the retail industry as an accomplished and design-centric manager for all project phases from initial client contact through store planning, concept, design, construction documentation and execution and have earned a reputation for consistently delivering projects on time & within budget while thoughtfully executing or championing the design goals.

 

With my background in both interior design and architectural technology, I bring a unique blend of creativity, technical prowess, and strategic thinking to every project and I enjoy having a stake in both worlds and combining them for truly outstanding design solutions.

 

Known for my expertise in space planning, I have honed a meticulous approach to planning that focuses on optimizing every square foot of space, while either thoughtfully creating a customer journey & narrative in retail stores or considering the wellbeing and needs of employees that enhances the human experience in office spaces.

 

Having directed multiple large-scale, complex, multinational teams, I am skilled at driving projects to completion and building strong relationships with cross-functional stakeholders, team members and consultants.

 

Beyond the strategic & technical aspects of project management, I am recognized for exceptional leadership & communication skills, and I strive to consistently foster a creative and collaborative team environment and I am passionate about achieving the brands objectives across all touchpoints and delivering the most exceptional and curated spaces for my clients.
