Shannon Edwards
Owner and Principal Designer
From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the world of interior design. Growing up on construction sites with my father, who owned his own building company, it’s no surprise that opening SHANNON KATE DESIGNS became a natural next step. I initially started my career in finance with a major home builder, where I gained invaluable experience managing large-scale projects and the financial expertise that would eventually empower me to launch and run my own business.
What began as a small venture from my home has grown into a thriving business. My first client was a neighbor, who, after their project was completed, referred us to others—and the rest, as they say, is history. Today, we’re proud to call San Clemente home, with a beautiful office and storefront, and a fully booked calendar. For the past eight years, our clients have come to us primarily through word-of-mouth referrals, a testament to the trust and satisfaction we've built.
The part of the design process I love most is bringing dreams to life. I deeply enjoy translating conversations and aspirations into distinctive, timeless spaces that families will cherish for years to come. I work closely with each client to uncover their unique style, overseeing every detail to ensure their vision is perfectly realized.
I’m truly honored to be part of your design journey and excited to create something extraordinary together.
