About the Designer

Cathryn Lindsey is an award-winning interior designer, named one of Austin's top interior designers by Austin Home two years in a row, and earning a prestigious design award by the same publication just a few short years into her business. She brings a unique blend of high-end fashion expertise and interior design mastery to every project. Her approach is rooted in an appreciation for the intricate balance of color, texture, and craftsmanship, combining timeless elegance with a creative edge to create spaces that are as welcoming as they are beautiful.

Her passion for design began with a deep interest in fabric, color, and trends, which led her to earn a degree in Fashion Merchandising. This foundation, paired with years of experience in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of luxury fashion production, honed her eye for detail. While working with top designers, Cathryn managed complex projects, collaborating with overseas factories and New York-based production teams. It was here that she developed a mastery in balancing beauty and precision—ensuring that every detail, no matter how small, contributed to the bigger picture.

Cathryn’s approach to design is centered around an appreciation for personal expression and history, combining modern elements with vintage pieces that tell a compelling story. She is drawn to the idea of creating spaces that feel lived in and layered, yet refined—where beauty and warmth are seamlessly woven together, reflecting her clients’ lives, stories, and aspirations.

Above all, Cathryn is deeply passionate about the lifestyle her designs support. She believes in creating spaces where every moment feels like an experience, much like the ones she cherishes in her own life—whether hosting intimate dinners or gathering friends for celebrations. Her top priority is ensuring that every client feels like family, receiving the highest level of care, attention, and hospitality throughout the design process. It’s this commitment to the client experience, paired with her expertise, that results in homes that not only look beautiful but truly feel like home.
