The Story Behind

MK Interiors

the Journey

of Mary Kate

Mary Kate discovered her passion for interior design at just 11 years old, sketching floor plans and piecing together presentation boards from magazine cutouts. That early love for creativity set her on a lifelong path, leading to a degree in Interior Design from Georgia Southern University. As a Georgia native, what started as an internship out of design school turned into a 7-year career with the nationally published Atlanta-based design firm, Amy Morris Interiors.

In 2022, she took a leap of faith, launching MK Interiors in Charleston, SC to bring her unique perspective and personalized approach to clients throughout the Lowcountry & beyond. With over a decade of experience, Mary Kate has developed a knack for navigating the challenges of the design and building process, ensuring that every project results in a space as functional as it is beautiful.

When she’s not transforming spaces, Mary Kate prioritizes wellness, travel, and spending time with her loved ones. Whether hiking in nature, biohacking her health, or crafting new recipes in the kitchen, she brings the same creativity and passion to every aspect of her life.

our design Process

Mary Kate believes every client has a story and that your home should bring your unique story to life. Her work combines thoughtful proportion, scale, and timeless sophistication, pushing boundaries to create spaces that are inspired yet grounded. Her designs are never trendy — they are enduring, cohesive, and always a reflection of her client’s individuality.
