Cathy Newman has her mother to thank for her career choice. \u201cMy mother worked steadily decorating for clients she met at her day job in retail merchandising,\u201d she relates. \u201cShe demonstrated that it is possible to be creative, solve problems, create strong relationships and have a direct and meaningful impact on people\u2019s lives and how they live.\u201d<\/p>\n
After a decade in corporate marketing, Newman followed her mother\u2019s path, combining business savvy with her artistic training (she is also a painter) to develop her approach to interior design. \u201cBoth processes require a willingness to be flexible and the ability to solve problems along the way,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n
Newman, who founded her solo practice in 2019, takes pride in building long-lasting client relationships through integrity, curiosity and creativity. Her projects take into consideration composition, color palette, texture and style. And as a painter, she loves color. \u201cIt injects unique personality and character into a project,\u201d she avers.<\/p>\n
As for sustainability, Newman leaves nothing to waste, furnishing projects with a mix of vintage and beloved pieces from her clients\u2019 own collections and timeless, quality goods. \u201cOld things tell a story, and reviving, repurposing and reupholstering heirlooms preserves and saves them from the landfill,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
