Katie Klemp
Senior Designer
Katie is a graduate of West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. She spent a semester in Italy where she studied architecture and Italian Renaissance art in between weekends of traveling.
Her love for design started at a young age rearranging her bedroom and always experimenting with new paint colors. Katie’s design inspiration is largely drawn from Modern, Eclectic, and Art Deco styles. To her, interior design is the ability to create spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Katie is originally from Northern California, and moved to West Virginia when she was in high school. Having lived on both the East and West coast, she was ready for a new adventure in Texas. In her free time she enjoys paddle boarding on Lady Bird Lake, exploring all the great food Austin has to offer, and taking her Corgi to Zilker Park.
She is excited to expand on her interior design knowledge with such an inspiring and creative group of women at Kim Lewis Designs.
