Before returning to New Zealand in 2013, KKID founder and director Karen Kelly’s international career took her to London where she worked on projects across Europe, Asia and the US, then onto Melbourne where she continued her work in high-end residential interiors. All these experiences informed her abiding respect for architecture, craft and materiality, and her ability to distil a client’s needs and achieve sublime results. Karen holds double Bachelor’s Degrees majoring in Design Studies & Marketing.
KKID designs are rigorously researched, carefully considered, and expertly executed. Transparent, down-to-earth communication and utmost integrity ensure the design and installation process is as seamless as possible, whether your project is a new build or one room.
“We are unreserved in our commitment to realising a project’s full potential and this sometimes means encouraging clients to step outside their realms of comfort. That so many of our clients return to explore new projects with us is testament to the success of our approach. We are proud to welcome them back and appreciate their faith in what we do.”
