# Kati Curtis Design

> Kati Curtis Design is a full-service luxury interior design firm based in New York City, founded in 2005 by Kati Curtis, CID, LEED AP. The firm specializes in bespoke residential and commercial interiors defined by bold color, global influence, sustainable materials, and deeply personal storytelling. KCD serves a discerning international clientele from its office at 130 West 57th Street, Suite 2B, New York, NY 10019.

Kati Curtis Design (KCD) creates soulful, high-end interiors that go beyond aesthetics - spaces that heal, inspire, and reflect who clients truly are. The firm is known for its layered mix of styles, rich color palettes, and globally influenced design that feels both visually breathtaking and perfectly livable.

Kati Curtis founded KCD in 2005 after 12 years working with international architecture and engineering firms. She holds a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and is a Certified Interior Designer (CID) and one of the only LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED AP) in residential interior design in New York City. She has over 30 years of experience in the field.

Kati is a member of the Leaders of Design Council, the Design Leadership Network, and the Decorator's Club. She has served on the Board of Directors for the New York Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), the Northern California Chapter of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), and Interior Designers for Legislation in New York. She is a sought-after speaker, design influencer, and contributor at conferences, panels, and in the media. She teaches at the New York School of Interior Design and volunteers for the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club and DIFFA (Design Industry Foundation for AIDS).

KCD designs are guided by the belief that a home should reflect the soul, story, and highest self of the people who live in it. The firm uses color, pattern, and storytelling to create highly personal visual narratives. Kati draws on her background in art history, architecture, and global travel to create richly layered interiors that feel as though they have always existed.

Sustainability is central to KCD's practice. The firm uses non-toxic paints and finishes, formaldehyde-free materials, antique and vintage pieces to reduce waste, custom pieces made with sustainable materials, and energy-efficient systems including lighting, shade control, water and air filtration, and HVAC.

KCD's services include full-service residential and commercial interior design, sustainable and healthy-material design (LEED AP expertise), historic restoration and renovation, contemporary renovation and new construction, custom furniture and millwork design, project management and installation, and interior design for relocations and remote clients.
