With over 16 years of experience in cabinetry and interior-focused design, Kati Knorr brings a thoughtful, client-first approach to every project she takes on. A Senior Sales Designer at Westwood Cabinetry since 2008, Kati is known for creating highly customized kitchens that balance beauty, function, and individuality—never relying on a single style, but instead designing around the people who will live in the space.
Kati specializes in high-end custom homes, where no two projects are alike. She thrives on complex layouts, unique architectural details, and the challenge of creating cabinetry that is both visually striking and deeply functional. Her designs are guided first and foremost by how a space will be used—ensuring intuitive flow, efficient work zones, and thoughtful storage solutions that support everyday life.
Clear communication and attention to detail are central to Kati’s process. She works closely with clients to understand not only their aesthetic preferences, but how they move through their home, how they cook, gather, and live. To help clients fully visualize their space, Kati provides detailed 3D renderings with every quote, allowing ideas to come to life long before production begins.
Kati’s work has been recognized with over 16 Gold Tommie and OHAE Awards, a testament to her ability to consistently deliver award-winning designs that stand out for both creativity and execution. Her inspiration comes from the freedom of custom design—bringing something unexpected to each project, whether through material combinations, layout solutions, or refined details.
While her design work spans a wide range of styles, Kati is currently drawn to the warmth of green and wood tones. Outside of work, she finds inspiration in the Okanagan landscape—particularly Christian Valley, where she loves spending time by the Kettle River. A self-described morning person, Kati starts her days early and brings that same energy and focus to her clients’ projects.
Known for her collaborative nature and passion for problem-solving, Kati values the relationships she builds throughout the design process. For her, the most rewarding part of design is working directly with clients to transform ideas into spaces that feel personal, functional, and lasting.
