BOB WILLIAMS / THE CHRONICLE. Kate Heerspink emphasizes timeless design in her home, as she is known for minimalism and
thoughtful decorations in residential properties.
CRESWELL –– Once Kate Heerspink discovered interior design, it was full steam ahead.
Heerspink grew up in Eagle River, Alaska, and said interior designers were few and far between in the backwoods of the state.
But when she was in sixth grade, her uncle struck up a casual conversation about what she wanted to be when she grew up. After explaining that she likes art and working with people, but that she’s also very type A and technical, he brought up interior design.
She had never heard of it, but from then on, she would never forget it.
“It’s the perfect marriage of the technicality of design and the creativity of it – and that sums up me as a person perfectly,” Heerspink said. “My career basically encompasses my ethos, if you will – the values of creativity and technicality.”
