A NSW-based interior designer, Kate St James, has been honoured by international publication, World Who’s Who of Women.

First published in 1972, Who’s Who aims to reflect the achievements, ambitions and accomplishments of recognised professionals, with each inclusion being independently considered.

St James’s early working life was as a journalist in London, followed by a 20-year career in interior design. During her design career Kate wrote for many design publications on topics such as interior design, environmentally-sustainable design, space planning and facility management as well as teaching at Queensland College of Art and KVB College of Art and Design. She has also held positions as Queensland Chapter Convener and National Executive member of the Society of Interior Designers of Australia.

St James is also a fellow of the Design Institute of Australia, an organisation of which she has been an active member for more than twenty years.

The Research and Advisory Board has also selected her as one of a limited number of individuals to receive the accolade of International Professional of the Year. This prestigious award is made available to only a few illustrious individuals whose achievements and leadership stand out in the International Community as decreed by the Research and Advisory Board, Cambridge.
