Laura Burkhalter Email & Phone Number

I’m passionate about creating spaces that genuinely enhance people's lives, and my areas of expertise reflect that commitment. With over 20 years in interior design, I specialize in programming, space planning, interior finish specifications, and casework design. My journey in this field has allowed me to immerse myself in high-end schematic design, architectural lighting design, and the thoughtful selection of contract furniture.Throughout my career, I’ve developed a deep understanding of design practices and procedures, and I value the relationships I’ve built along the way. I strive to connect with clients, ensuring their visions and needs are met through collaborative communication. My proficiency in various design software, including Revit, AutoCAD, and SketchUp, helps me bring these visions to life seamlessly.I particularly enjoy crafting interior details and selecting finishes that resonate with the essence of each project. I find great fulfillment in compiling client presentation packages and creating construction documents that guide the process smoothly. Writing specifications is something I strangely love—it's a way for me to ensure clarity and precision in every project.Beyond my professional pursuits, I believe strongly in giving back to my community. Serving on the Board of Directors for the Southmoreland Neighborhood Association allows me to advocate for causes that matter to residents. I am committed to promoting the Kansas City streetcar expansion and other transit initiatives, working with organizations like the Kansas City Regional Transit Alliance and Midtown KC Now to champion smart development.In my free time, I love gardening, sewing, and working on my 1906 bungalow with my husband, Jeffrey. We cherish moments with our Rat Terrier, Rudy, and our Siamese-tabby cat, Frankie. I'm grateful for the journey of enriching my skills and nurturing my passions.
