Design & Interiors PR Consultant

PR and brand communications for design and interiors businesses who care about doing things properly.

Hi, I’m Kate.

I work with architecture practices, interior designers, furniture makers, lighting brands, product designers: anyone creating considered work in the built environment. Most of the brands I work with don’t have a PR problem. They have a clarity problem — a story that hasn’t been properly excavated yet, or a point of view they know is there but haven’t found the language for. My job is to find that story first, then make it visible in the places that matter.

For established brands, I offer strategic consultancy: counsel, partnerships, and positioning work. For smaller independent businesses, I’m launching accessible PR tools so you can build your own visibility without agency budgets. I work with a small number of clients at any time, which means the work is genuinely hands-on. And if the foundations need attention before PR makes sense, I’ll say so.

How we can work together.

Looking for hands-on consultancy?

I offer three levels of support, from strategic counsel to retained partnerships and positioning work.

Limited budget, but ready to build visibility?

I’m launching PR Foundations: a complete DIY system for design brands to build their own PR capability.

I work with brands across the UK on the strategic thinking that comes before any pitching begins: positioning, founding narrative, and messaging clarity. Then we translate that into stories journalists can use and customers understand. Whether that’s colour psychology, neuroscience-backed design, or genuinely sustainable practice, the work starts with understanding what’s actually there.

Sixteen years of understanding what works.

I’ve worked across PR and brand communications for design brands since 2010: agency work, consultancy, and hands-on media relations. What I bring beyond sector knowledge is a perspective formed from being part of the audience these brands want to reach, not just someone who understands how media works. That combination produces different instincts about what a story actually is and why it matters.

I also run Fabric of My Life, an award-winning design and lifestyle blog I’ve maintained since 2009. For three years, I ran Fabric of the North, a platform celebrating Northern England’s independent design businesses, which included curating North is Now pop-up shop events. Both projects kept me close to the work itself — understanding design businesses as someone who creates alongside them, not just someone who communicates on their behalf.

Ready to start?

I work with a handful of consultancy clients at any one time, which means I can give proper attention to the brands I take on. If you’re ready for hands-on PR support or want to discuss which approach suits your business, get in touch.
