About Kathleen

I believe that art, design, and travel influence each other in intricate and compelling ways. I’ve been deeply curious about all three since my childhood in Oak Park, IL - biking down Ernest Hemingway’s childhood street, playing in houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and traveling abroad with my family. I’ve been a freelance design writer for ten years, and my writing is informed by my love of art history and archaeology and my endless fascination with artistic, timeless interior design.

When I’m not writing, I can be found traveling with my husband and sons (our favorite trips include Finland, Morocco, and Brazil), updating my century-old house, and checking out the vibrant food and music scene in Chicago. 

Let’s Work Together

In addition to my own essays, I help designers, artists, curators, and brands convey artful ideas in well-written, enjoyable articles, posts, and websites. 

I can help with:

  • Content writing & content marketing for art and design companies, including in-depth blog posts on inspirational homes, art & objects, and interviews with creatives.

  • Travel Advice & Essays, based on extensive travel and my time living abroad, including as an expat in London with young children.

  • Copyediting, for clear and cohesive content, informed by my years of experience at a major publishing house.

  • Content Creation, from website bios to product descriptions.
