Specialists of Design: Kate Bergeron at DDB (Part 1 of 2)

Last week, we introduced you to the D&D Building’s Design Professional, Jason Lowe. Who we didn’t mention in the article is Kate Bergeron, who works alongside Jason in the Design Professionals office at the DDB. We're lucky enough to spend a lot of time with both Kate and Jason, so we're excited to share all the things we love about Kate and why she and Jason are an amazing team.

Having interned for two years with both Design Professionals and the Marketing Department at the DDB, Kate officially joined the team last year after graduating from Hunter College in New York City.

While at Hunter, Kate studied Studio Art with a concentration in Graphic Design, but always retained a growing love and interest in the interior design world. Prior to living in NYC, Kate spent a summer working as the assistant to a Connecticut-based interior designer and then began her first semester of college as a student work-study employee in the Art Department of Marymount Manhattan. Kate's blog KatesHouseOfHappy is also further testament to the art and design that inspires her daily.

"I would think my mom would tell you my interest in interior design all began around the age of eight for me," Kate said. "That's around the time and age that I began rearranging my bedroom by myself and on a regular basis. I didn't quite think about it until a few years later!"

Her two years at the DDB prior to joining the Design Professionals has helped shape Kate's well-rounded experience in the industry; an experience she credits to her success as a Design Professional.

"The interior design industry in New York City is a fascinating and ever-evolving industry," Kate said. "My unique experience at the DDB thus far has really allowed me to thrive and assist as a Design Professional while continuing to learn every day!"
