Catherine’s business sense combined with her creativity is driven to push the boundaries. Catherine opened the Truckee Design Studio in 2012, which she operates in collaboration with her new partner, Justine Macfee.

Justine joined Catherine Macfee Interior Design full time after design school in 2009, and in 2013 Catherine brought Justine on as a partner as their business expanded. Growing up in the design industry with Catherine as her mother and mentor, Justine Macfee formally honed her skills in interior design at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Artisanal and earthy, Justine delights in the unexpected and can find elements of beauty in the most mundane of materials, transforming them into focal points that delight and inspire.

Catherine and Justine’s combined style compass wanders towards the exploration of mixing classic lines with organic elements, creating inviting spaces that are inspired and timeless in luxury destination locations.
