Cate Millar Sweeney
President

Cate's love for interiors and everything that goes into them, researching anything, and storytelling led to her helping clients discover exceptional products that reflect their styles and desire to be actively involved in curating their spaces.

The experience Cate honed during a wide-ranging career in marketing and communications, public affairs, and philanthropy lends itself perfectly to this work. A natural and insatiable curiosity, wide and deep exposure to the world around us, working as a translator to understand and share ideas, seeing the big picture and every step to get there, and the  commitment to getting things done on time and budget are transferrable skills.

Career highlights include roles at the Oregon Symphony and McCaw Cellular, where she supported communications during AT&T and Cingular acquisitions. Afterward, she co-owned Lindberg/Kirk/Millar before it was acquired by Fleishman-Hillard, where she led national and international brand teams. Cate is currently the philanthropic advisor for the D27 Foundation and Sweeney Family Trust.
