When not working for KBD, Maria runs the Sharon Land Trust, a conservation organization dedicated to protecting open space in the Town of Sharon, CT. Maria loves to see how the natural world inspires Katie’s design ideas, whether a beautiful natural motif on wallpaper or utilizing natural fibers in fabrics and floor coverings.
