1. If you could check into any hotel in the world, what would it be? And why?
If I could check in any hotel in the world I would go to The Giraffe Manor in Kenya. I
have always wanted to travel to Africa and this stay gives you daily interaction with the
wildlife on the property. I love that they combine a once in a lifetime experience with
your overnight stay.
2. What do you enjoy doing when you are not at work?
When I’m not at work I love adventuring with my girl friends. Whether its hiking Oyster
Dome, trying out a new brewery or wandering into unknown shops. I seek new
experiences and making memories with great friends
3. Favorite caffeinated beverage?
I love a foamy flavored cappuccino. They make me feel pampered and fancy.
Please email your bio’s with a headshot of yourself by the end of next week so we can get the

Kathryn ‘Katy’ Clark is an Interior Designer for B+H Advance Strategy.
I have always been passionate that good design is THE driver for great experiences. Thoughtful and detail oriented design guides our interaction with and use of a space, and imparts to us a lasting memory. Hospitality Design excites me as it is the most direct way to engage with a user and create these positive impressions. Considerate, user-driven design can upgrade a date night spot to a special occasion destination or trick my brain into stepping a walk in the park up to a run. I have learned that the most successful end results are achieved through the collaboration of the teams that conceive of and build them. From ownership to general contractors to manufacturers along the way, it is important for designers to establish positive working relationships with everyone involved. Budget may be King, but attitude and perspective provide the counsel that keeps a project true to its vision.

Currently I do interior design and purchasing for Noble House Hotels here in Washington.
