Kati Ramage
Founder & Principal Designer
A Sarasota native with a background in education, Kati built Abide Designs on the belief that great design should feel thoughtful, inspiring, and deeply personal. After more than a decade in the classroom, she transitioned into interiors while raising her two children, now 20 and 16, studying through the New York Institute of Art & Design and refining a style rooted in calm, livable beauty.
Since launching Abide Designs in 2017, Kati has become known for her steady guidance, intuitive problem-solving, and genuine care for her clients. She leads each project with organization, creativity, and heart- helping families create homes that feel elevated yet comfortably lived in.
Today, Abide Designs is a boutique studio and storehouse based in Lakewood Ranch, serving families across Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, and beyond. Whether designing a custom home or refining meaningful finishing touches, Kati and her team create spaces where clients feel calm, confident, and at home.

"They transformed our home into something even better than imagined-beautiful, functional, and perfectly suited to our lifestyle."
We are nearing the end of our project with Abide Design, and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation, the team was attentive, creative, and truly took the time to understand our style, needs, and budget. They transformed our home into something even better than imagined-beautiful, functional, and perfectly suited to our lifestyle. We also appreciate their communication throughout the process and the quality subcontractors they work with. I highly recommend Abide Design to anyone. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the quality of their work.
