Kate has an extensive background in healthcare interior design, inclusive of all departments and care settings. Believing that quality of care is directly related to the quality of the design and human experience, she aims to deeply understand the needs of her clients’ patients, families, and staff, as well as the operational implications of the healthcare environment. Seeking best practice answers, Kate brings dynamic collaboration to create solutions that respect the values and goals of each client. Deriving inspiration from everything around her, Kate’s passion for design extends beyond work into other creative outlets such as photography and art and sometimes in the form of elaborate birthday cakes.

Design Inspired by Place

Kate Bautista shares how the surrounding lakes and natural landscape inspired warm, calming interiors that foster healing. From locally commissioned photography to a serene material palette, every design decision celebrates the character of the Fond du Lac and Oshkosh communities.
