Katie Wozniak, President and Lead Designer - Allied Member ASID
Our President, founder and Senior Lead Designer, Katie Wozniak, has built a strong foundation for the team at Katherine Elizabeth Designs. Whether she’s designing an elegant custom kitchen or a contemporary corporate lobby, Katie believes that your surroundings are vitally important to your outlook on life and work, and enjoys creating spaces that are as inspiring as they are functional. She specializes in Interior Alignment—the Feng Shui and Space Clearing art of aligning interiors by tying the flow of energy in a home or office to the desired functionality of the space, resulting in a peaceful and balanced environment.

Katie’s love for design was inspired by her parents’ custom home building business where she developed an appreciation for fine architecture and home design. She followed her passion to Paris and attended Parson’s School of Design where she was introduced to European architecture and interiors. Expanding on that experience, Katie then completed her Bachelors Degree in Interior Design locally at Harrington College of Design, Chicago. She developed her business skills and completed her Bachelors Degree in Business in her home state of Wisconsin at Marquette University, Milwaukee—with additional education at the School of Business at St. Clare’s Oxford University, England. A certification in the art of Feng Shui design rounds out Katie’s portfolio and has brought her recognition by the National Feng Shui Guild.

Katie has an impressive reputation for exceeding our client’s expectations and for delivering spectacular spaces that truly reflect the desires and ideas of those we serve.
