6 THINGS WITHÂ KYLIE BASS OF KKB INTERIORS
Before starting her own design studio KKB Interiors in 2018, Kylie apprenticed for a number of prestigious interior design firms in New York City. As an interior designer, she has a natural ability to connect with and understand her client's goals and in turn design timeless, functional interiors that reflect their lifestyle. She truly believes it is so important to come home every day to a place you love.Â
1. What started it all for you?
Growing up, I was a creative and artistic person. I loved art and I danced competitively until college, but I never considered ways to translate that side of my brain into a career (since I was definitely not good enough to be a professional dancer or artist). So, my idea of pursuing a “creative” career in my 20s was entering the media/advertising world. While I loved my job at the time, I knew something was missing in terms of the artistic outlet I had cherished growing up.
I've always had a deep infatuation with homes and interiors. Part of my morning routine has always been clicking right to Architectural Digest and browsing realtor.com for fun. I also was the person my friends went to for style advice when they moved. In hindsight, it's funny to think that this career path didn't click sooner for me. I credit my husband (then fiancé) for having confidence in me and pushing me to take the leap. I quit my media job and started taking classes at the New York School of Interior Design.
After working for a few firms, I learned a lot about how I wanted to operate as a designer, gained more confidence in the process, and decided to start my own business. Looking back, I am so grateful for the decision and my journey.
