Designer redefines West Coast design while serving community
For 20 years, Bonnie Bagley Catlin has been working in the kitchen and bath industry. She began her professional life in Portland, OR at Neil Kelly Company, later advancing her career through a move to the Seattle, WA office. In 2010, Catlin made the move to San Diego, CA, where she developed her distinctive California style. She is currently principal and owner of Signature Designs Kitchen & Bath Interiors. A Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) and Certified Interior Designer (CID), Catlin’s portfolio includes large custom, whole-house remodels as well as over 500 kitchen and bath designs. She excels at creating visual interest by layering textures, patterns and color into clients’ surroundings that are highly functional, distinctive and refreshingly unique.
Her work has been showcased in dozens of print and online publications, including the HGTV blog, Modern Luxury, San Diego Union Tribune and Seattle Magazine. She was honored this year by Kitchen & Bath Design News with the Bronze award for Best Kitchen, $150K to $225K division, and has been awarded best of Houzz nine times. In 2018, she was the winner of the website’s 10 Best Bathroom award.
Catlin also shares her talents with those in need. While in Seattle, she worked with Angel Helper, partnering with another interior designer, fundraising for single-mother home makeovers. In San Diego, she chaired the ASID Kitchen Bath Tour in 2017. She also works with design students, giving entrepreneurial guidance in social media development.
