About Kathryn Forest

A graduate of Bowdoin College with degrees in French and art history, Kathryn has studied at the Ecole du Louvre, La Sorbonne in Paris and the New York School of Interior Design.   Her career began in New York City working for a fashion and entertainment public relations firm; but soon her love and knowledge of antiques and furniture led her to a position as a decorative home buyer at Bergdorf Goodman. 

Fluent in French, Kathryn eventually transferred to the store’s Paris buying office where she served as a fashion and home consultant previewing collections in the Paris markets.  Kathryn’s exposure to different facets of the interior world guided her to explore the design side of the business. 

After working under noted architect and interior designer, Daniel Romualdez, Kathryn began her own interior design business working on both residential and commercial projects in New York City, the Hamptons, Nantucket, Boston and Florida.  She has had the opportunity to work with prominent New York developer and venture capitalist Christopher Burch, working on his show houses in Nantucket and Long Island.  Kathryn has also collaborated with New York fashion designer Tory Burch on her family’s Manhattan apartment and home in Southampton, NY. 

Current projects for Kathryn Forest Design include residences in California, New York City, the Hamptons, Connecticut, Maine and Florida.
