Background

About Kourtney Russo

People ignore design that ignores people."- Frank Chimero I believe the spaces we inhabit everyday shape our realities. My passion for cultural theory, psychology and the arts have cultivated my love of Interior Design. Architecture and design lie at the crossroads of commerce and culture, and, through an empathic approach and a genuine love of people, I believe I can tell complex stories in physical space. As an Interior Designer at Workplace Solutions and an Interior Design Assistant at Cattaneo Studios, I deliver on projects from concept to completion, collaborating with diverse teams and clients to create spaces that reflect their stories, cultures, and needs. I have a Master's degree in Urban Studies/Anthropology from the University of New Orleans, and a Bachelor's degree in Interior Design from Louisiana State University, which have shaped my passion for exploring the intersections of architecture, design, and society. I have experience in managing site installations, sourcing FF & E selections, developing and refining mood boards and presentations, and directing photoshoots of finalized projects. I also have expertise in interior styling and furniture design, which I apply to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the spaces I work on. My goal is to create spaces and experiences that are not only beautiful and comfortable, but also meaningful and impactful.
