About Us
Two Visionaries. One Mission: To help you love your home.
At DK Designs, we believe your home should be a representation of you, not a page from a catalog. We’ve combined over 30 years of renovation experience, a passion for bold color, and a high-level background in project management to create a design firm that is approachable, resourceful, and effective.
We aren’t here to design for the “elite”; we are here for the average homeowner who needs a decision-driver and a professional buffer to navigate the chaos of home improvement.
Deanna “Dee” Kline
The Intuitive Designer
Born to a “MacGyver” dad and a creative mom in rural Ohio, Deanna was swinging hammers and wallpapering her own bedroom by the 3rd grade. That early spark turned into a 25-year career in design and renovation.
She focuses on your energy, your home’s potential, and how the two work together. Deanna coaches you through your space frustrations or mental barriers to reveal the possibilities. Whether you’re tackling a 100-year-old fixer-upper or a modern new build, Deanna thinks outside the box and believes in sustainable sourcing to create spaces that are soulful, unique, and (most importantly), functional for real families.
Design Superpower: Finding underutilized square footage and transforming it into spaces that work harder, flow better, and feel intentional.
Favorite Vibe: A neutral canvas highlighted with eclectic maximalism and punches of color.
Katie Black
The Strategic Creative
The newest “K” in the duo, Katie is a Boise native who brings a powerful technical edge to the team. With six years in the flooring and construction industry and a degree in Graphic Design, she bridges the gap between beautiful aesthetics and structural reality.
Katie is the engine that keeps projects moving. She understands “contractor language” and knows how to translate a vision into a tangible plan. She is passionate about balance, visual storytelling, and ensuring that every design is as livable as it is beautiful.
Design Superpower: Creating efficient, thoughtful solutions that transform how a space functions, both in the present and for the future.
Favorite Vibe: The warm wood tones of mid-century style and the minimal ideas of Scandinavian design, but always adding a touch of whimsy.
