Meet Kathryn

Hi there! My name is Kathryn Ballance and I am an interior decorator based in Raleigh, North Carolina. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014 and working for nearly a decade in healthcare as a licensed pharmacist, I decided to leave my chosen career path to pursue my passion for interior design by starting Kathryn Ballance Interiors in 2023.

While I am self-taught, my background in the medical field has enabled me to develop excellent creative problem-solving and communication skills, a strong attention to detail, and the ability to multitask while overseeing complex processes. I am very outgoing and find great joy in meeting new people and working collaboratively with others on meaningful projects. I bring these strengths in combination with my love of designing unique, layered, highly personalized interiors and knack for mixing old and new pieces to each of my design projects in order to create spaces for my clients which are both comfortable and beautiful.

Outside of working on client projects, I love spending time with my husband Brandon and our three cats Hopper, Maeve, and Arya (I am a shameless crazy cat lady!). I am very active and love running, weight lifting, and my daily outdoor walks; being out in nature is where I’m happiest. On the weekends, you’ll probably find me at an antique store or working on my personal design projects - I’m an avid thrifter and DIYer and love decorating my own home with pieces I’ve found or made.
