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 NYC, where I am part of the shared studio community at Brooklyn Metal Works.
