Kate is the proud owner and founder of Lash & Brow Design Co., and she brings over 24 years of experience in the beauty industry, along with a lifetime of passion and purpose. Her journey began not in a salon, but through her own personal struggle with Grade 4 cystic acne. Experiencing firsthand how appearance can affect self-esteem, Kate felt a deep calling to help others feel confident and beautiful in their own skin.
This mission led her to esthetics school, where she graduated top of her class and received the prestigious Beacon Award in 2004. Just a few years later, in 2007 and while pregnant with her first daughter, she became the first certified lash extension artist in Indiana. In 2008, six months pregnant with her second daughter, Kate opened the doors to Lash & Brow Design Co., setting the foundation for what would become a cornerstone in Indiana’s beauty community.
Kate's relentless pursuit of excellence didn’t stop there. She was recruited as a national trainer for Xtreme Lashes, the world’s leading lash brand, and during her time teaching in New York, she discovered microblading. Once again, she led the way—becoming Indiana’s first certified microblading artist. Since then, Kate has never stopped learning. With an insatiable curiosity and a drive to perfect her craft, she not only continually refines her own skills but pours that knowledge into her team, mentoring each member of Lash & Brow with care and intention.
Her heart for service reaches far beyond beauty. Kate has volunteered her talents to help burn survivors, cancer patients, built homes through Habitat for Humanity, and even provided makeup for the kids at Riley Hospital’s prom. Her love for people is the soul of her work.
When she's not at the studio or teaching, you’ll likely find Kate speaking or attending conferences, traveling the world, swing dancing with her husband, hunting treasures at estate sales, renovating her home, or staying busy with her four vibrant daughters.
