Born and raised in Berlin, Kathleen started her career in studying visual communication at University of Arts Berlin and École des Beaux Arts, Bordeaux, earned with a honorary fellow at UdK Berlin. Her technical and artistic understanding of space, color, proportion and design helps her to successfully execute each of her still life and large-scale sets. Kathleen enjoys creating playful, elegant and colorfully curated sets, still lives and floral installations.

Confident, playful and narrative-driven, Kathleen´s vision could be described as a balance of sophistication and rawness, creating her own landscapes with experimental materials and abstract motifs from the natural world.Her links with the fashion and art world continue to grow, making her an in demand creative collaborator.Aside from her set design practice, Kathleen continues to develop an own artistic body of work.
