Kimberly Montante
Kimberly loves great design and is inspired by God’s beauty in everything from art to nature! An artist at heart, her eye for fine design and craftsmanship taught her the importance of scale, proportion, and elegant living by devouring decor mags and historic architecture books as child. She grew up in Ventura County and her first job as a teenager gave her practical project and construction education assisting in her mother’s landscape and pool building business throughout the greater LA area. Having lived in Ventura County her whole life and wanting a new experience, she decided to earn an Interior Design degree at Savannah College of Art & Design. Kimberly and her husband James moved to historic Savannah, GA and found her passion graduating Summa Cum Laude with a BFA in Interior Design as Valedictorian of her class.
She briefly worked on commercial projects in Savannah: restaurants, retail and education but wanted a more direct and personal impact with her designs so began her solo career as a residential designer. Though they loved Savannah, family ties pulled them back to SoCal 15 years ago to raise her young children while she continued to design and create beautiful spaces from San Diego to Ventura.
Living, designing and building in historic Savannah gave Kimberly deep respect for fine architecture and craftsmanship that continues to inspire her today. Her approach to design is intuitive and intentional and believes truly luxurious living must first be comfortable for those who live there. Never working in just one style, her talent to blend different looks from modern and antiques into beautiful results are personal to each client. There is not any aspect of home building that Kimberly has not had experience with, from full home interior design, remodels, kitchens, baths, décor, outdoor design to furniture design, and she always is honored to help the way clients live in their homes.
After being solo for many years, she wanted to be part of a great creative team and joined the company in 2018 bringing her years of experience to our clients! Kimberly, her husband James and their two teens are active volunteers in their church and can be found tripping around in the many museums of LA, at the beach or up in the mountains.
“Great design starts with an intentional approach to a space and then layering fine craftsmanship to make sure your home is beautiful and personal as well as livable.”
