Kat Black founded KBI in 2021 after 17 years in the design industry and her clients will tell you the experience shows.

    

For Kat, design starts with listening. She works closely with each client to understand not just what they want their home to look like — but how they want it to feel. The result is spaces defined by layered texture, natural materials, and a confident edge that makes them stand apart without feeling overdone.

 

​

Clients return to Kat for her judgment as much as her aesthetic. She knows when to push, when to hold back, and — critically — what will last. Before founding KBI, she spent years as a professional organizer, an experience that still informs her deeply functional approach to beautiful spaces.​
