Kati is an interior designer focused on adaptive reuse and sustainability. She is skilled in historical research, design, adaptive reuse strategies computer-aided drawing, construction administration, and project management.

Kati has nearly a decade of historic preservation experience in advocacy and design roles. While studying Interior Design, she developed her graduation thesis around the unique circumstances for creating new residences in the historic steel milling neighborhood of Hazelwood, Pennsylvania, following both local and affordable housing guidelines. Following graduation, she leaned toward preservation education and advocacy within Corning’s Gaffer District, Historic Ithaca, and the Preservation League of New York State, before returning to interior design with Bero Architecture, as Lead Interior Designer, establishing her career in the field of Historic Preservation Architecture.

Kati’s design approach merges classic methods, materials, and finishes with contemporary design standards to create spaces that aim to enhance the experience of current and future users. Her design objective for each project is to adapt interiors into high-functioning spaces while highlighting existing historic integrity.
