Home design and construction have been a big part of Kathy’s life. She grew up in a family business of home builders where she fell in love with the art of making residential spaces, from concept to finish. She later acquired an MFA in Fine Art and made a career teaching art & design at the college level. More recently, she integrated these two passions by turning her focus to interior design. Now, as part of the Shrock Design team, Kathy enjoys helping clients develop a home that is not only beautiful, but also functional and efficient. She likes to think of the home as a “livable work of art” that expresses the clients’ personal lifestyle and tastes. She knows the value of carefully listening to her clients as she assists them in achieving a design plan that accurately reflects their vision. Anyone who has experienced building a custom home knows that it consists of many design decisions. Every detail matters and everything needs to come together to form an overall sense of unity. This could be challenging for homeowners, but Kathy breaks down the process into manageable steps, informing clients of product options and providing recommendations in design considerations. She then documents the selections and assures that ordering is successfully folded into the construction schedule.

“Everyone here at Shrock works hard to make it easy and enjoyable for clients to achieve their dream home or renovation. Participating in this process is very gratifying. Each project is unique and special, just like the clients we are privileged to get to know and serve.”
