“Katy did a fantastic job of guiding us through some tricky details of our mid- century kitchen remodel. She’s knowledgeable, thoughful, extremely detailed and a pleasure to work with. She uses all the latest tools to help clients visualize the project and uncover problems prior to construction.

We now have a very detailed set of plans for our contractor who seemed very pleased with her work and our stress level is much lower. We look forward to working with her more once our project gets under way! ”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Katy Krider [Interior Design] for our most recent project, our ‘forever home’. In a word, it has been a delight! Her interior design skills are exceptional as well as her knowledge of interior architecture. Katy quickly understood my/our tastes and incorporated those into all of our decisions, as well as providing new and wonderful ideas that we never would have thought of!

When I felt overwhelmed on occasion, Katy was easily able to make the process manageable and actually enjoyable. She was completely instrumental in helping to make our complex project go smoothly and successfully. We are so thankful that Katy was referred to us! ”

“Working with Katy was an absolute dream. From our very first meeting, Katy had such a strong understanding of my taste and design needs. She was always professional, prompt and helpful. Our family is looking forward to working with Katy Krider on our next home project!”

“Katy did the interior design for our historic home renovation in Portland. She was involved from top to bottom and through all phases of the project—from floor plan to architectural details to materials and surfaces to furniture selection and layout. Katy was instrumental in helping us explore, refine, and finalize floor plans, particularly for the kitchen and master suite. She was responsive and efficient, and her drawings were accurate, thorough, and beautiful. Katy’s work made us comfortable that we’d explored all the reasonable options and made the right set of tradeoffs in our architectural plan.

It’s a more formal house than we’ve ever lived in, and we wanted to be true to its spirit and era. While Katy tends toward clean and modern interiors, she understood what we were going for and helped us achieve it. We are now in a home that we love and enjoy every day.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Katy Krider on several projects for our home over the past six years with spectacular results. The most recent was a very extensive remodel of our kitchen, four bathrooms, and five bedrooms. Katy is a delight to work with. She listens carefully to her client, takes suggestions easily, and is always ready to follow the client’s vision and adapt her recommendations to that. She is fun, always timely, and sticks to the budget. Her fees are quite fair. We really enjoy working with Katy, and plan to continue to do so. ”

“HIGHLY recommend working with Katy Krider! She was a tremendous help during our remodel—very professional & yet still approachable, and her drawings were accurate & detailed, exactly what our contractor needed. The remodel was a major transformation, & a great experience from start to finish—SUPER HAPPY with our end result!”

“I hired Katy to do the practically impossible for me...plan & furnish the interiors of an almost empty apartment. In a week. She helped me find ways to articulate and refine my design concept and located the perfect items to make it a reality. Katy’s ability to listen to an idea and then execute it with creativity and thoughtfulness is what makes her really special. And her follow-up is outstanding - she continues to pass along thoughts and pieces she knows will suit my style. I would hire Katy again in a heartbeat, and enthusiastically recommend her to my friends and colleagues.”

“Katy was extremely helpful to me when I was opening up my business. The truth is, I couldn’t have done it without her. She went way above and beyond the service I would have found anywhere else. She was able to quickly determine the sense of personal style that is at the heart of me. She was instrumental in the formation of my brand and was able to mirror that in every little detail of my interior design from the location of electrical outlets to the color of the carpet. She made recommendations to not only make my clinic beautiful but also extremely functional. The way she works is very systematic and professional and it was a very easy experience. I learned so much from her. I would refer her to a friend with no reservations. You are in good hands with Katy.”

“Katy and I have worked together for a number of years, most recently on the Twelve|West building where I was the Project Architect and she served as Senior Interior Designer. I enjoyed working with her. She has a warm personality and is a talented designer who is excellent with clients. She brings great communications skills to the table and cares deeply about the end product and serving her clients needs. She is also very good with budgets and managing projects. I recommend her highly.”

“Katy Krider is an outstanding Interior Designer. Tasteful, classic modern, elegant. Katy balances her design talent with thoughtful process, in-depth product and materials research with exceptional attention to detail, and very thorough follow through to project completion. I highly recommend her.”
