Katharine Leonard is an experience designer whose work sits at the intersection of environment, product, and hospitality. She explores how thoughtfully designed spaces and objects shape the way luxury experiences unfold - from the atmosphere of a room to the smallest details of service and material.

With a background spanning aviation, interiors, and product design, she focuses on the systems that support exceptional experiences: the environments, materials, and objects that quietly define how people move through a space, rest, dine, and connect. Her perspective is informed by both design practice and business strategy, including an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management focused on how complex experiences are structured and delivered. Her current work centers on the design of onboard environments and hospitality systems within private aviation.

Earlier in her career, she developed a collection of textiles and objects rooted in craftsmanship, pattern, and material exploration. A pillow design from this work was later featured in GQ’s list of the best pillows.

Today, her work focuses on the evolving expectations of luxury - environments that prioritize privacy, calm, and emotional resonance over spectacle, and experiences designed with intention rather than excess.
