Her design expertise was incredibly helpful throughout the process. It made our renovation hassle-free and we absolutely love the final work. We especially appreciated her collaborative approach with design inspiration, the choice of materials, elevation diagrams, and with the final install. She's a hands-on professional that I'd absolutely recommend. We're genuinely looking forward to working with Katy on future projects."

Katy has a truly impressive taste in design and performs admirably in all of her roles. She has worked hard to establish so many milestones.

  • I have nothing but amazing things to say about Katy. I have worked with her for years and have been consistently blown away how hard she works. Not only is she an amazing designer but she always takes her clients wants and needs into consideration in her design process. She is kind, compassionate and overall a great person to work with. I would strongly recommend working with Katy if given the opportunity!

  • Katy was a huge help in upgrading our kitchen and building out our main living room. We needed to add in an island and upgrade a few features to match the existing kitchen as well as add a functional seating area nearby. She listened to our preferences and was able to visualize the room for us using a 3D rendering so we knew what everything would look like prior to starting. She organized all of the different moving pieces so we didn’t have to worry about anything and made it super easy!

  • I love Katy's podcast, not only is she a talented designer but has the most intriguing conversations with cottage owners in Ontario. I feel like I am getting to know my community one by one!

    — MIA HACKING, THE INTERIOR ATELIER

  • “I have to give Katy so much credit praise. The kitchen 3D’s were so great and they conveyed exactly what I wanted to convey to the client. The client most likely would not have understood the concept without 3D renderings. Thank you so much!"

    — JASMINE AVDIC, JASPER INTERIORS

  • “I had a wonderful experience working with Katy. Her podcast idea is unique, and I appreciate the opportunity to share the history of our cottage. Katy was professional and kind. She was genuinely interested in my stories, and her passion for cottage country was contagious. I’ve made a new friend—a cottage country buddy!”

    — PATTY DOWD - EPISODE 7+8 PATTY ON THE POINT

  • “Working with Katy on the Sadie on Action Island episode for her Rewind Design podcast was really a great experience. We enjoyed sharing the history and architecture of our former bootlegging brothel with her. Katy is genuinely interested in not just the history of the cottages of cottage country, but also about the culture and people behind it as well. Though we all cottage differently, Katy is able to find the themes and commonalities of our unique stories, and how it all goes to show just how magical cottage country has been and continues to be. ”
