Katie Vogt, CID
Founder and Designer
​
I’ve been on an ever-evolving education and career journey, but one thing has always been constant: my love for creativity—especially when it comes to making a house feel like home.
​
After graduating with a degree in Architectural Engineering and a minor in Interior Design in 2016, I spent a brief time in engineering before realizing my true calling was design. I returned to school, earned an associate degree in Interior Design, and became certified. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working on a wide range of projects—from single-family renovations and custom builds to finish specifications and furniture procurement for luxury multifamily developments.
In the past few years, my path has shifted even closer to home. I’ve embraced a more holistic approach to design, focusing not just on finishes and furnishings, but on how our environments support the rhythms of everyday life. From virtual design services to in-depth renovation guidance, I aim to bring intention, balance, and function into every space.
​
Most recently, this evolution led me to home staging—a seamless extension of my passion for thoughtful interiors. I now offer boutique staging services for homeowners, investors, and realtors looking to tell a story through space. With an emphasis on natural tones, lived-in textures, and layered simplicity, staging has become another way I help bring clarity and soul to the spaces people move through.
​
As Aspen + Veda grows, I remain rooted in one mission: to design homes that feel warm, personal, and enduring—whether you're living in them or preparing to let them go.

Max wears many hats—and every single one matters. By day, he’s a mechanical engineer specializing in manufacturing processes, bringing precision, logistics, and problem-solving to everything he touches. But after hours, he’s the hands, heart, and systems brain behind Aspen + Veda’s most ambitious work.
Whether he’s building custom pieces, installing staging moments, troubleshooting site challenges, or managing our entire inventory tracking system (yes, he built that too), Max ensures our ideas move from vision to execution with intention. He’s also our in-house IT support, keeping operations running smoothly behind the scenes.
From craftsmanship to spreadsheets, Max makes it all happen. Aspen + Veda isn’t just a design studio—it’s a family-led collaboration powered by curiosity, creativity, and his can-do spirit.
