Welcome Home
I'm Kara Kennedy, and I’m the heart behind Soul Space Collective. As a self-taught designer, my devotion lies in creating experiential residential spaces that foster deep connections and invite moments of introspection. I approach design with an intuitive blend of aesthetics and functionality, ensuring that each space feels elevated, authentic, and restorative. My love for color theory and considerate material selection allows me to craft spaces that are not only aesthetically compelling but also profoundly impactful on a deeper level.
My design practice is grounded in a deep understanding of the construction industry, gained through years of hands-on experience, and paired with an immense passion for creating bold and enduring interiors that harmonize my clients’ internal and external environments, fostering positivity and activating their innate potential. Each project I undertake reflects my commitment to exploring the emotional depth often overlooked in design, with the goal of creating spaces that are authentically aligned with my clients’ unique experiences and aspirations.
The Philosophy
At Soul Space Collective, I believe that every space has the potential to go beyond just looking beautiful—it can carry an emotional resonance that transforms how we feel. I take time to understand the unique stories, histories, and aspirations of my clients. This understanding allows me to create environments that evoke a sense of renewal, connection, and growth. My designs are not just about aesthetics; they are about fostering a sense of belonging and potential within each space.
I approach each project with the belief that a thoughtfully designed space can elevate your everyday life. By harmonizing the beauty of aesthetics with the practicality of function, I create environments that are as restorative and enduring as they are visually sensational.
The Process
At Soul Space Collective, my design process is deeply personal and collaborative. I start by diving into your story—your needs, your aspirations, and the emotions you want to experience within your space. This personal insight becomes the foundation for everything that follows, allowing me to design spaces that are not just beautiful but meaningful and reflective of your essence.
From the initial concept to the final touches, I balance color, texture, and spatial dynamics to craft environments that feel emotionally mature and purposeful. By constantly pushing the boundaries of conventional design, I strive to create spaces that are not only innovative but also deeply personal—spaces that inspire you and will stand the test of time as you blossom into being.
A's to your Q's
What is your design process like?
My design process begins with a deep dive into your story—your lifestyle, needs, and aspirations. From there, I develop a design strategy that balances aesthetic beauty with functional purpose. I guide you through each phase, from concept development to material selection, and finally, execution. Throughout the journey, I maintain open communication to ensure the design evolves to reflect your vision.
What makes your design approach unique?
My approach is grounded in my construction expertise, which allows me to navigate the technical aspects of a project with ease. However, what truly sets me apart is my dedication to emotional depth in design. I go beyond surface-level aesthetics to create spaces that resonate with your experiences and foster positivity and growth. My designs are bold, yet restorative, and always tailored to align with your aspirations
How do you balance aesthetics with functionality?
I believe that beauty and practicality should go hand in hand. While I prioritize creating visually compelling spaces, I always ensure that the design is functional for your everyday life. By understanding how you interact with your space, I can incorporate thoughtful details that enhance both the form and function of the environment.
Can you work with my existing space or furniture?
Absolutely. I enjoy working with existing pieces or architectural elements, as they often hold personal significance and contribute to the overall character of the space. I can seamlessly blend your cherished items into a new design that feels cohesive and refreshed.
How involved will I be in the design process?
I encourage collaboration throughout the design process. Your input is invaluable, especially in the early stages where we define the direction of the project. From there, I manage the details, but always keep you informed and involved in key decisions, ensuring that the final result is a true reflection of your vision.
What is the first step to start working with you?
The first step is to schedule a consultation, where we’ll discuss your needs, goals, and vision for the project. From there, I’ll outline a personalized design plan and provide a roadmap for how we’ll bring your ideas to life. Reach out through the contact form, and let’s get started!
