THE
STORY
OF
RUNWAY
No formal design training, just a true love for fashion.
Rough sketches turned into participating in over 20 local and regional fashion shows, being chosen as a semi-finalist in Belk’s Southern Designer Showcase Competition, named by Carolina STYLE magazine as one of the "25 Most Stylish in the Triangle", and featured in multiple charity events, high-end boutiques and fashion publications.
MENS
While working in corporate marketing, my manager brought in a bag of pocket squares and asked if I would ever consider designing men's accessories, specifically pocket squares. I started researching fabrics, designing double-sided prototypes, getting feedback, and tweaking until they were perfect.
My pocket squares were selected by MTV to be added to 100 Celebrity swag bags given to performers, presenters, and other VIPs at the Video Music Awards.
MTV released a press release highlighting what was included in the swag bags - my company name was mentioned, Entertainment Tonight published an article that read "Justin Timberlake could add a little extra pop to his "Suit & Tie" with KSH Couture pocket squares."
HOME
When 2020 reshaped the retail landscape, I quickly pivoted my design focus to home décor, launching KSH Home—a collection of handcrafted throw pillows that became the foundation of my hospitality design work.
In 2021, I began focusing on the luxury hospitality market, earning my first hotel project with The Ivey's Hotel in Charlotte. I designed custom bed scarves for each of their guest suites, and custom throw pillows for their guest suites, lobby, and lounge. Since then, I've partnered with luxury hotels, restaurants, and lounges across the US.
My approach combines thoughtful design with a practical understanding of hospitality environments. I specify high-performance, commercial-grade textiles that withstand the demands of high-traffic spaces while delivering the elevated look and feel today's luxury guests expect.
Whether creating custom soft furnishings for guest rooms or refreshing public spaces, my goal is to help each property tell its unique story through beautifully crafted, enduring design.
MADE
IN
Every pillow cover is handmade in Raleigh, with inserts manufactured in North Carolina. Keeping production local is central to my business as it allows me to maintain superior quality while supporting skilled artisans throughout the state.
