Katie Vogt, CID
Creative Director and Principal 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 a Certified Interior Designer. Over the past decade, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, including single-family renovations, custom homes, finish specifications, and furniture procurement for luxury multifamily developments.
​
Today, my work is centered around creating thoughtful, highly personal interiors that feel cohesive, functional, and complete. I offer interior design services ranging from renovation guidance and finish selections to furniture planning, sourcing, procurement, and final styling, with a particular passion for the layers that bring a home to life.
​
Furnishings and accessories have become a defining part of my design approach. I love taking a space with strong bones and thoughtfully building upon it through furniture, lighting, art, textiles, and collected details that make the home feel intentional rather than simply decorated. Whether I’m furnishing an entire home or helping a client complete spaces they already love, my goal is to create an environment that feels considered, comfortable, and distinctly theirs.
​
My background in both technical design and interiors allows me to approach projects with a balance of creativity and practicality. I believe the best homes are not only beautiful, but also support the way people actually live—and that every design decision should have a purpose.
​
As Aspen + Veda continues to grow, I remain rooted in a simple philosophy: create with intention, build genuine relationships, and leave every home and every experience better than we found it.

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.
