Hi! I am KiaLeigh Rickard-Urban and I am a recent graduate of Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I found my amour fou when I was a Rotary Youth Exchange Student in France from 2014-2015. I was able to travel all over Europe and absorb phenomenal architecture and design! I am planning on relocating out of Iowa after graduation. I am passionate about luxury residential, hospitality, and sports and entertainment design.

Deepa Doshi and Owen O’Brien live in upstate New York with their four-year-old daughter, Priya. They bought their home almost a decade ago, for its large yard, location, and move-in condition. They love being able to use the outdoor space during the warm weather months; when Owen is able to show off this grillmaster skills and Deepa teaches Priya how to tend to their raised-bed garden. They are looking to revamp their kitchen to make it their dream kitchen and a space they can grown into when they decide to expand their family.

Deepa Doshi and Owen O’Brien live in upstate New York with their four-year-old daughter, Priya. They bought their home almost a decade ago, for its large yard, location, and move-in condition. They are wanting to make some home improvements to their first floor. They are lacking a bathroom on the main level and are willing to compromise their library for a functioning bathroom for themselves and their guests.

The Duncan family just bought a vacation home along the woods of Lake Tahoe, Nevada. A close, family friend of theirs encouraged them to contact KK Interiors to help them bring their design dreams to life. The Duncans’ want to bring the woods inside and make use of the large scenic windows. While this is their house, they wont be spending the majority of their time living there. They plan on renting this house as an AIRBNB when it is vacant. It is important to them to keep the design simple and not personalized, so guests can feel comfortable in the space when they are staying.

Zeitnah Storica is a newly renovated boutique hotel located in Boston, Massachusetts. The existing building’s exterior consisted of brick and large black arched windows. Boston is a very historical city itself, so it was important to keep historical elements in the design. The design concept of this boutique was inspired by two world renowned historical artists, Leonard Da Vinci and Beethoven. Throughout the hotel you will see the balance of modern design and design from Da Vinci and Beethoven’s time.
