Kara is the founder and creative director of Mann Design, established in Chicago in 2005. She expanded her offices to Manhattan in 2011, where she works with an international roster of discerning clients and industry leaders on both residential and commercial projects. The New York Times describes her signature style, a balance of edgy yet sophisticated design, as “interiors with a subversive side”.

Mann is known for creating environments that align her background in fashion, art, and design by re-imagining the possibilities of spatial design. Often referencing iconic fashion houses, contemporary art, and classical interiors, she conceives unexpected combinations through materiality and architecture with a focus on strong, longstanding composition. Positive tension is a focal point in her practice.

Rules or trends mean little to her, as she creates homes that reflect the psychology her clients. “It’s about collecting things or evoking a moment that is special to the person,” she says. “A well-lived life in whatever form you choose is the true meaning of luxury.”

Also called the Queen of Mod, we can find Mann’s work in the best USA interior design magazines, and Vogue has appointed her as a member of ‘The Vogue 100,’ a group of influential decision makers and opinion leaders known for their distinctive taste in fashion and culture.
