Kate's passion for design began in her first home—a charming one-story cottage—where she spent her days creating a space that was both beautiful and effortlessly livable. Striking the perfect balance between style and comfort, she developed the concept of aesthetically cozy, a design philosophy that became the heart of The Cottage on the Hill. What started as a creative outlet for sharing decor inspiration has since grown into a full-service design studio, offering everything from new build and renovation designs to furnishings and installations, as well as virtual consultations. Dedicated to making timeless, cozy interiors accessible to all, Kate continues to share her favorite furniture, decor, and accents through her blog, social media, and LTK—helping others bring The Cottage on the Hill look into their own homes.
