Tate spent many years working in both San Francisco and New York before settling down in his home state of Kentucky. His time in the fashion industry, as well as the home furnishings industry, has allowed him to foster and develop a love for textiles, patterns, prints, and design. Tate was previously the Senior Design Director at Ralph Lauren Home before he left to start his own interior design business in Louisville which he currently runs today. This shop is a reflection of the showroom held within his working studio.
