Katherine Knox | Green Designer, B.S. | Feng Shui Practitioner

A native to Florida, Katherine Knox, also known as Kat, is an artist and designer 
who is passionate about nature and the environment.  She received her B.S. Degree 
in Interior Design from ‘The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale’ and her A.S. Degree in Graphic Design.  She became a member of the USGBC (United States Green Building Council) in 2008 and is currently studying to become LEED G.A. / Homes. 

After graduation Kat went to work for an architect in Boca Raton, Florida and then an Interior Designer in Palm Beach, Florida.  Today, Kat has decided to focus on 'Green' design with her own company Sustainable Designs LLC.  Being that she has traveled around the world to places like England, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Denmark, Thailand, Japan and China gives her a broad and eclectic taste, and style. 

Along with being a Green Designer Kat is a Feng Shui Practitioner.  Incorporating Feng Shui within a design can bring harmony and balance to your living space. Feng shui can enhance or simply add health, wealth and prosperity to your life.
