Kate Hartley

I’m a design and construction project professional with experience across both commercial and residential environments, particularly in the redevelopment and rebranding of hospitality spaces — including bars, hotels, and restaurants. I’ve run my own design business while operating in a construction design and project management capacity, which has given me a practical understanding of both client priorities and on-site realities.My work combines creative and technical thinking: from space planning, colour strategy and design management through to detailed drawing production using AutoCAD and the Adobe Suite. I hold a BA (Hons) from the Dublin Institute of Design and come from a fine art background in photography and sculpture, which continues to inform how I approach materiality and atmosphere in projects.

I have now returned to a fully focused construction project management role, coordinating and delivering medium to large fit-out projects using project management software. My goal is to bridge the gap between design intent and buildability, enabling projects to move efficiently from concept to completion.
