Katie Jackson

My name is Katie Jackson, and I am the Heinz Kitchen & Bath designer, but I go far beyond kitchens and baths. I've designed cabinetry spaces, including offices, mudrooms, laundry rooms, closet islands, garages, and more. I focus on making your spaces functional while blending your personal style to look great too. I have been in the design and construction industry since 2015, starting in a lumber yard. I then transitioned to Heinz in February 2020 to help develop our design center alongside our great team. This opportunity has allowed me to expand my design skills, experience, and offerings beyond basic cabinets and countertops. We are now able to offer so much more for our clients to see their projects become a reality. Outside of work, I enjoy chasing after my two active kids and spending time with friends and family.
