Kate Reilly is happy to be back in the community of Pasadena where she was born, and still has family ties and history in the area. She first started to fall in love with houses and architecture through the guidance of her father, who introduced her to the works of Greene and Greene and Buff and Hensman, which are well represented in the area.

With this early exposure and love for architecture and all other art forms, through visiting museums and education, she developed a passion for decorative arts as it applies to our everyday lives, and how one can create a unique world within a defined space. Her other hobbies include travel, music, fashion, film and magic tricks.

Working as a Kitchen and Bath Specialist, currently she is proud of teaming up with designers and architects on renovating and restoring historic Pasadena estates, working on multi-residential developments, and collaborating on new builds with innovative design features.
