Our Story

Welcome!

We're so glad you're here!

Who we are:

Kate (they/them) is a queer and neurodivergent artist, author, and licensed therapist who lives in Charlotte, NC with their husband, toddler, 3 dogs, and 2 cats. In addition to owning and operating KC Designs, Kate provides outpatient mental health therapy to individuals and families in the Charlotte area. Outside of work, Kate enjoys traveling spending quality time with their spouse and toddler, game nights, spending time in nature, volunteering with and participating in HRC events to promote equity and inclusion for the LGBTQIA+ community, and practicing yoga.

Bobby (he/him) is Kate's husband and recently joined KC Designs as well! He brings with him 20 years of experience as a sales account manager for a small apparel and corporate awards business. He will be coordinating all bulk custom orders here at KC Designs. If you're looking to get your logo on your own merchandise, we can help! In addition to working at KC Designs, Bobby is a local realtor serving NC and SC. Bobby is a native to the Charlotte area. Outside of work, Bobby enjoys traveling, attending live sporting events (Go Panthers, Duke, and Hornets!), spending quality time with Kate and their toddler, and playing poker with friends.

What we do:

KC Designs began in 2017 out of a love for crafting. Kate started out making custom orders for friends and family. That quickly evolved into creating a variety of custom crafts and participating in countless events as a craft vendor and networking with hundreds of other small businesses in the Charlotte area. In 2021, Kate and their husband welcomed their first child and Kate decided to take a temporary break from the business. KC Designs re-opened in January 2024 and has expanded to combine all of Kate's passions and Bobby's expertise in managing large accounts. While KC Designs no longer offers individual customized crafts, we continue to offer one-of-a-kind crafts and branded merchandise, and have grown to include therapy and parenting tools, and children's books!
