cOMMERCIAL DESIGN
In Site Designs was founded in 2005 while Katie Skoloff was completing her final design degree in New York City. She was excited to build a business of her own while living her dream of designing luxury interiors. She believed in herself and through successful client projects and plentiful happy recommendations, her business grew.
Katie began to bring in additional designers to assist her in serving her growing list of patrons. Since then, there have been a few office relocations and faces added, but the foundation of designing narrative spaces for people passionate about their interiors in need of professional execution has remained the same. At its core, that is what In Site Designs has always been about.
The In Site Story
our beginning
Our all-female team lives and breathes beautiful design. From the initial concept, to the final furniture installation, we will be there with you, ensuring that every part of your story is told.
