Katie came to the world of design by osmosis, having grown up in wonderfully stylish homes in West Texas, on the snowy peaks of Aspen, the bright lights of Manhattan, and-most significantly-along the rocky shores of Mt. Desert Island in Maine. At Skylands, Katie learned the tricks of the trade from her self-schooled mother in the art of mixing custom upholstery pieces with antiques and modern art with traditional landscapes and picked up her knowledge of “how to” make the best bed, serve the perfect cocktail, and set an elegant table, all tools that now come in handy when advising her interior design clients how to outfit a house today.
