HI, I'M Katherine. 

You can also call me Kate. I’m a writer. I create magazine and service journalism, and my work has appeared across national outlets including The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Business Insider, Real Simple, Rewire, Roadtrippers, Health, Well + Good, and House and Garden, among others. I also wrote a book about Japandi-style design and how it got so popular.  

I'm currently the digital features editor at Architectural Digest where I cover architecture, design, real estate, and travel, among other topics. I'm particularly interested in stories that examine our current culture through the lens of design and real estate (like offering an Instagram account as an incentive in a home sale or people choosing to rent for life.) I believe design history can tell us much about the world and enjoy documenting society's present needs, influences, and interests through interior and architectural trends. 

Previously, I wrote about personal finance, business, and entrepreneurship. To this day, I spend a lot of time considering the overlap between these topics and design (most evident in the series I developed for AD, Room Reciepts.) 

I graduated from The New School in New York City. A Hoosier at heart, I’m now based in Brooklyn.
