Aspiring to combine the basics she had learned with the creative energy she possessed, Kathryn pursued her own dream of becoming a designer and today is a valued member of Normandy's talented design team.

Raised in Ireland, Kathryn moved to Chicago in 1995 and studied for a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts at the International Academy. She quickly found her niche in the kitchen and bath industry, creating stunning designs and quality work that have earned her the reputation of a highly regarded industry professional. Her success has made it possible for her to work with two celebrity designers on their projects and she also assisted in intercontinental and international design projects from Hawaii to Austria.

Kathryn's sucess as a designer is rooted in the relationship of trust she develops with her clients. By truly listening to their concerns, needs and ideas, Kathryn is adept in being able to conceptualize a design solution that brings function, beauty and style to the newly remodeled space that reflects the homeowners' tastes and personalities.
