Interior Design
“Design is the art of uncovering the roots of your being and creating something beautiful from it.”

Kate is a multidisciplinary designer based in Toronto, Canada. She specializes in Interior Design, Calligraphy, and Graphic Design. She graduated in 2025 from OCAD University with a Bdes. in Environmental Design (Interior Design Specialization). Her work is informed by her passion for building community-driven spaces, cultural storytelling, and the blending of tradition with contemporary design. Drawing inspiration from her Filipino heritage, Kate explores how design can foster belonging, preserve identity, and support local enterprise. Her previous experience in residential, commercial, and hospitality design has deepened her understanding of how thoughtful materiality and spatial planning can shape human connection.
