Her intuitive and inquisitive approach helps her understand clients and their needs on a deeper level allowing Kati to design spaces for each client that are honest and authentic.

You can frequently catch Kati working at local coffee shops and wine bars - say HI! She is super outgoing and talkative. When she is not working, she loves to connect with her friends over a glass of wine or delicious meal. Kati loves to cook and is frequently spoiling her loved ones and little nieces with home baked cookies. When she is not out socializing, she is either working out at Pure Barre, on a walk with her dog, or curled up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a good book.
