It was an absolute pleasure working with you!!! **★★★★★ — debbiejflores, March 2021** > I started working with Kate and her team in June of 2020 on a new build (my forever home). From our first conversation I realized how amazing Kate is, she listened to what my expectations were and what I was hoping to achieve. She is extremely detailed oriented and her time management skills are impeccable. She is able to take your design aesthetic and work with you to produce amazing results. She has an expansive vision and doesn't just work with one specific style like many designers. She works to make your vision come to life, she listens to the client and incorporates your wishes/needs and pairs that with her knowledge to come up with an amazing well curated design. I honestly could not have done this project without Kate and her team. **Comment from Base Camp Design:** > Debbie its has been such a pleasure working with you!

Much gratitude for all of the wisdom I gathered working with you! **★★★★★ — Michael Welp, April 2020** > Kate helped me create the house of my dreams. She listens and gets what matters to you. She brought me ideas that helped me get out of my box and those have become the favorite parts of my house. She also could tell when something was really important to me. Kate managed the subcontractors for high quality which was a load off my back. I have used Kate for two updates and am thrilled with both results. > > Kate helped me create the house of my dreams and was a true partner in creativity and execution ## Selected projects - [Modern Farm House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farm-house-pj-vj~6784010) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Classic, comfortable interior design gets a subtle bohemian boost in this modern farmhouse in the mountains.
