Katherine Stone is an active interior designer who has been operating her own business, Katherine Stone Design Inc., for over twenty years.

Her career spans an international clientele including embassies, golf clubs, and hotel chains. Growing demand expanded her design work to include custom homes where Katherine not only designed the buildings, but did the interiors, from custom furnishings to linens in the closets and dishes in the cupboards. She has won recognition for residential design, and heritage restoration. She has written for newspapers and magazines.

After years of honing her craft, Katherine was ready for a new challenge. Her vibrant personality, extensive design knowledge, and well spoken manner were a perfect fit for her as host of the HGTV design series, "Lofty Ideas". Katherine is an ardent traveller and the filming of the show takes her to major cities around the world where she interviews loft owners about loft design and the urban lifestyle. This exciting venture has infused new life into her business and opened the doors for expansion of her repertoire.

Katherine has become a headline speaker at home shows for the information, inspiration and entertainment she provides. Design is a way of life with Katherine and she is delighted to be able to share her passion with the viewers of HGTV.
