hello.
Hi! I’m Kate. I’ve been making things since I could first hold a hammer & I’ve got the emergency room receipts to prove it. Well, my poor parents do :)
I founded Kate Taylor Design in 2014 after completing my AAS in Jewelry Design/Fabrication at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Even as my focus narrowed to metals, my art practice has always included a multitude of disciplines including textiles, printmaking & sculpture, and these continue to inform my jewelry today.
After a hiatus beginning in 2019 to have my 2 awesome kids (and a pandemic thrown in to boot!), I have returned to my studio practice with new energy and a shift from production work to more unique one-of-a-kind items. Crafting tangible things, especially lasting heirlooms, feels more meaningful than ever.
All of the pieces featured on this site are designed and made by me in my Brooklyn, New York studio.
