QUICK GLIMPSE INTO MY WORLD…

As a kid, I loved creating things that feel naturally beautiful and personal, with a touch of fairytale whimsy. Over the years, my passion bloomed from hobby artist to dedicated illustrator and interior design lover.

Fast forward to the season I discovered how a well-designed space can open up a world to transformational connection and inspired moments with loved ones—I was hooked!

My intuitive gift for crafting environments that bring people together for purpose and meaning now combines with my deep expertise as an illustrator. This is where the magic comes alive for me!

I’m a lifelong passionate artist with a heart for classic romance—I hope you can feel it.

THE DREAMER & THE MAKER: A PERFECT MATCH

Behind the designs at By Catherine Alexandra is the one who believes in the kind of love that builds things — like weddings, businesses, and a life of adventure. For over 10 years, I’ve been blessed with the freedom to share my creative ideas with my adoring better half, Brandon.

Every sketch I’ve dreamed up, Brandon has brought to life — from clever carpentry to tech wizardry, business ideas to late-night build days. He’s my builder, my brainstorm partner, my best friend. The quiet brawn behind all my wild ideas.

Our three kids are never far from the action — always curious, always watching, sometimes helping — soaking in the beauty, the enchantment, the joy of creating something meaningful for someone else’s special day.

By Catherine Alexandra was born from that same spirit: thoughtful, hand-drawn details. Love turned into art. And a homegrown belief that what you create with your own two hands matters.
