Katherine earned her BFA in Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing with highest honors from The Rochester Institute of Technology in 2004. After graduating, Katherine created her own pieces of unique fine jewelry which she sold at craft fairs and online until she came to Morgantown in 2013 where she worked locally as a jewelry designer and bench goldsmith.  Her goal from the start was to open her own brick and mortar jewelry design business focused on bespoke design, and that goal has been achieved with the grand opening of Spencer & Kuehn.
