I was born and raised in the small town of Camden, Arkansas, where my love for home began long before I knew interior design could be a career.

Growing up, I watched my mom create a home that was beautiful, welcoming, and full of thoughtful details. As a little girl, I spent hours dreaming about what my own home would look and feel like. Looking back, I realize those everyday moments shaped not only my love for design, but my belief in how a space can make people feel.

In a small town in the ’90s and early 2000s, interior design wasn’t exactly a conventional career path, so I chose the more practical route. After more than ten years in media sales, I finally decided to pursue the passion I’d never outgrown and founded Mary Catherine Designs.

I’ll never forget my first in-home consultation. I felt completely at ease, as if I’d been doing it for years. I walked away knowing I was exactly where I was supposed to be. My husband and our two boys have been my biggest supporters throughout this journey, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have them in my corner.

Today, my approach to design is rooted in one simple belief: the best homes aren’t perfect—they’re personal. I love creating spaces that feel timeless, layered, and collected over time—beautiful without feeling untouchable, and thoughtfully designed for the way you actually live.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I’d love to hear your story and help bring your vision to life.
