Many of my designs have been influential in several prominent travel industry awards and are featured in publications such as Western Art & Architecture.
I am currently offering a complimentary online or phone consultation that lasts 20 minutes. If an on-site consultation is needed, we will comply with and request the use of masks, social distancing, and sanitization products.

My wife and I received the desired outcome thanks to Kat's exceptional assistance. Kat invested a significant amount of effort and time into the task, and we are delighted with the outcome. The experience of collaborating with Kat was uncomplicated and open. The use of summary billing simplified finalizing the job and keeping track of expenses.

Upon purchasing a house adorned with a vivid spectrum of colors, my husband and I were swift to decide that a subdued palette was more to our liking. Fortunately, Kat provided exceptional assistance in navigating through an array of neutral tones that harmonized perfectly. For those in search of a color consultation, I highly endorse her services.

Our experience working with Kat on a kitchen remodel was fantastic. We enlisted her as a designer and sounding board due to her experience as a General Contractor. Not only did we appreciate her insight and accommodating nature, but she was always readily available to assist us. Kat's knowledge of design and construction made the remodel process more streamlined and relaxed for us. Furthermore, she is excellent at sourcing affordable materials and has great resources for doing so. Although our project has only just begun, we are exceedingly pleased that we hired her. We highly recommend Kat for any project and would be delighted to provide a personal reference for her. Thank you, Kat, for your hard work, dedication, and expertise- we look forward to working with you again in the future!

On our first project, Kathryn James from Bluevine Studio exceeded my expectations as a creative force and motivator in transforming my cluttered office environment. With no idea where to begin, she presented several options for my review and clearly explained her process, alleviating any of my concerns regarding cost and completion time. Given her reputation as the "tornado of organization," I can now see why.
I later hired her for a complete renovation of my daughter's room, giving her creative license with a rough budget in mind. Her intuitive connection with my daughter empowered her to make personalized choices resulting in a highly functional and fun space.
I have used her services on three more projects, including a master suite, kitchen, and living room upgrade, as well as art and color consulting for wall and window treatments. Her well-rounded knowledge of design and construction skills impressed me each time.
Kat shopped for eco-friendly products and provided me with several local suppliers to choose from. She even arranged a behind-the-scenes tour of a prominent green facility in Portland.
I saw her and her crew in action at the Heathman Hotel in Portland, navigating their creations and equipment with professionalism and grace. I will definitely call upon Kat and her team for my future projects.
