Let's Chat.
Hello! I’m Kia Walcott Carter, the owner and lead designer at Live + Be Design.
I realized my passion for design while working with my husband to renovate single-family rental homes as investment properties. I was completely hooked after working on our first two properties and started Live + Be Design shortly thereafter. I currently live in Ohio and have a handful of exciting projects on the horizon.
