Book IWD Speaker: Katherine Richards

Interior designer & speaker empowering women to reclaim identity through storytelling & space, creating emotionally resonant authentic homes

Katherine Richards is a captivating and insightful speaker, celebrated for her transformative take on Interior Design and its profound influence on how we feel, think, and behave.

With clarity and charisma, she challenges the tyranny of trends and the exhausting pursuit of what’s ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in how a home should look. Instead, Katherine invites her audience to reconnect with the only true compass for design: themselves. Her message resonates especially with women who, too often, have lost sight of their personal taste beneath the weight of expectation and convention.

Rooted in an anthropological approach, her work is about more than aesthetics — it’s about identity.

She designs not from a rulebook but from real lives, crafting spaces that are authentic reflections of the people who inhabit them.

Every interior she creates is alive with meaning and memory, shaped by personal stories rather than passing styles.

Drawing on her origins as a theatre stage designer, Katherine understands that every object, every colour, every texture must earn its place in a scene. Her interiors follow that same principle: nothing is arbitrary. Everything is intentional.

The result?

Spaces that are not only visually striking but emotionally resonant — places that feel like home because they are home.

Her intuitive grasp of spatial storytelling speaks powerfully to women in particular, inspiring them to rediscover their voice and reclaim their space — not as a Pinterest board, but as a living, breathing expression of self.
