About Us...Past Experience, Future Plans
After studying Architecture at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, Kathryn completed her education in Interior Design at Monterey Peninsula College. She then began her design career on the Monterey Peninsula working at a small design firm as an Associate Designer. She was involved in all aspects of the design process, as well as the firm's marketing and operations. Kathryn was also responsible for managing a wide variety of commercial, hospitality and residential projects from initial client contact through the design and documentation phase, to final installation.
Later, Kathryn joined Gruwell-Pheasant Design as a Senior Designer, where she expanded her expertise in residential, hospitality and commercial design. As part of the design team, she had the opportunity to work on many upscale projects. Kathryn was part of the award winning design team for the unique Cibo Restaurante in Monterey.
From Gruwell-Pheasant Design, Kathryn followed Michelle Pheasant when she opened her own firm. She was responsible for several of the firm's projects and acted as primary client contact on those projects. Kathryn was part of the design team for the Maui Inter-Continental Hotel and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Pasadena. She contributed her particular skills in project organization, FF & E budgeting and specifications and documentation to the project team. Kathryn also maintained critical interface with the architects and purchasing agents throughout the progress of the projects.
In 1996, Kathryn opened her own firm and has had the opportunity to further enhance her creative skills in interior design. With over 20 years in the industry, and working within all the various phases of the design process, she has the ability to successfully manage projects from beginning to end. Kathryn also has developed important relationships with general contractors, architects and other professionals in the industry, which has enabled her to provide each of her clients with a complete support team of individuals for each project.
Kathryn takes pride in her unique ability to integrate a project's interior design theme or concept with it's architectural significance.
Due to the massive increase in the internet-based businesses, Kathryn decided to create her own website, that serves two purposes. One, she provides unique home decor, typically available to the trade only through architects and designers, that you can now purchase directly from KathrynMeyersDesign.com. Secondly, Kathryn offers interior design consultation for clients in the Monterey, Carmel and Salinas areas. The products on KathrynMeyersDesign.com are only a small portion of her collection in her library. If there is something you don't see here, be sure to contact us, and we will make every effort to find exactly what you are looking for.
