About
At KGB Interior Design we strive to create beautiful environments for our clients. We want beauty to be more than skin deep. Each project is carefully tailored to the client’s needs. Lifestyle, location, budget, likes and habits, pets, entertaining styles, climate, multiple use, & environmental impact are just some of the details considered. We are involved in projects large and small, from the new construction of large homes, to kitchen redesign and remodel, to custom furniture design, to the re-upholstery of a beloved chair.

We are an integral member of the design team, usually from a project’s inception. Our clients value our ability to create environments which address their particular needs and interests. We are often the closest liaison to our clients in the design process: planning spaces based on use. We attend to the details which ensure a well designed environment which is also a personalized, unique home.

KATHY GEISSLER BEST – PRINCIPAL

Kathy has long had a passion for the visual world. Her first degree was a BA from the University of Washington in Seattle, where she graduated summa cum laude with a Major in German Language & Literature and a Minor in Art History. After living and working in Munich and London, Kathy moved to San Francisco. She earned an MBA from San Francisco State University and worked in office furniture sales representing predominately Knoll International. Determined to work as a designer, Kathy pursued a BFA in Interior Design from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, graduating with honors and a focus on furniture design.

Since the formation of KGB Associates in 1990, now KGB Interior Design, Kathy has had the privilege of designing many homes in the San Francisco Bay Area, Washington State, and Virginia, including six of her own.

She draws inspiration from Nature, old Masters, and travel explorations. Her worldwide travel includes Western & Eastern Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, India, the Far East, Brazil, Mexico, and at least 43 of the 50 United States.
