Kate is best known for her colorful graphic designs originating from cut paper collages and block prints. Her coastal designs and patterns are reminiscent of summers in her favorite place, her home town of Kennebunkport, Maine. For many years, she worked as a product designer developing collections for the gift and home decor markets until launching her own design collection, all with a coastal flair. From pillows and rugs to bags and tableware, Kate’s lively prints and products can be found at many retailers as well as here online, and in her Kennebunkport and Portland shops. Come visit Local Color at 30 Dock Square, Kennebunkport or 221 Commercial Street in Portland!
