MEET THE DESIGNER
Katie Davis

A client request to revamp a 1950s ranch-style Houston property yielded an immediate yes from designer Katie Davis. As the couple with three young children began to describe the home’s layout and location in the city’s Memorial neighborhood, it started to sound very familiar to Davis.

As kismet would have it, it was Davis’s childhood home. “This house shaped everything for me. My parents worked with a designer to renovate it when I was in sixth grade, and I watched the whole process unfold. I credit my mom for introducing me to a world I didn’t know about,” she says.
