Karen Mackay

Hello, I'm Karen Mackay — Interior Designer, certified PMP (Project Manager), and founder of Wildatlantique.com and DesignIY.ie  I have 23 years of international design/build experience delivering high-end residential and commercial interior design across three markets: USA, Channel Islands, and Ireland.

From Fairfield County Connecticut, Westchester County NY to Palm Beach County Florida in the USA — some of the most demanding luxury residential and commercial markets on the US East Coast — I worked to high standards of interior design, real estate investing, LEED and project management precision, from quality of finish to offering an attentive client service. 
In St Helier, Jersey in the Channel Islands, I designed for high-net-worth private clients in bespoke residential and commercial projects, along with retail clients, by developing a specialist fluency in unique product sourcing with my Wild Atlantique brand.  Through vendor curation for clients who wanted the rare and distinctive. 
In Ireland, over many years, I have brought all of that international experience in design/build/sourcing to a market I know intimately: the realities of planning, the contractor landscape, real budgets, and what genuinely works in a home or commercial space.

Alongside my Design and PM practice, I founded Wildatlantique.com  10 years ago — a curated coastal lifestyle brand sourcing unique, sustainable, affordable-luxury pieces to clients who want something not readily found in the open market. That sourcing discipline is built into every project I take on. I am always pursuing the latest in new product offerings in finishes, materials and furniture, along with sourcing unique vintage pieces. Planning, sourcing and finally staging spaces for clients, while utilizing my prior real estate consultation experience to give clients the best metrics for investing, renovating and budgeting. 

If you're planning a new build, renovation, commercial fit-out, or a home you're preparing for sale or re-staging, and you want someone who has delivered to the highest standards across three international markets and to every budget — I'd be happy to hear from you to discuss your plans.
