Katie Caradec, founder of Good Little Things, residential interior and landscape designer based in Marin County, California.

Hi, I’m Katie!

“It’s the little things that make you feel at home.”

I founded Good Little Things out of my passion for home, my eye for design, and my belief that small, thoughtful changes can have a meaningful impact on how home feels. With a background in art, architecture, and interior design, I help families create homes that feel authentic, welcoming, and supportive of the way they actually live.

I also write about the deeper connections between home, identity, and well-being. An essay I wrote, Creativity, Motherhood & Neurodiversity, was published in MOTHER.

I Believe…

  • home has the power to shape how we feel, think, connect, and move through daily life.

  • people already know more than they think about their home—they often just need space, guidance, and confidence to trust themselves.

  • exploring possibilities creates clarity.

  • the best design is collaborative because no one knows your life
    better than you do.

  • small, thoughtful shifts can create meaningful change.

  • great design isn't about perfection; it's about creating a home that supports the life you actually live.

  • your home should make it easier to be yourself.

  • when your home supports you, you have more energy for the people and experiences that matter most.

Let's Chat

  • I hold a degree in architecture, and my journey through art, architecture, and interior design has shaped how I approach every project. But I see my role as more than a designer. I’m a thought partner, helping clients explore possibilities, ask the right questions, and gain clarity about what will work best for them.

    The process is collaborative because no one knows your life better than you do. I bring design expertise, ideas, and guidance to help you make confident decisions and create a home that feels authentically yours.

  • I start by understanding you and your home—what works, what doesn’t, what you love, and how you actually live.

    From there, we explore possibilities and find a direction that balances function, style, and budget.

    I guide you through decisions—from layout and materials to the details that bring everything together—so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

    Every project is different. Some clients want full-service design; others like to DIY or manage parts of the project themselves. I adapt to what you need, collaborating with you along the way so the process feels manageable and the result feels like you.
