Born and raised in East Texas, Kim studied at Texas A&M University, then kickstarted her career with a move to Austin to work for the renown furniture wholesaler, Four Hands.

A chance meeting with a television producer at a trade show eventually led to a relocation to Los Angeles and a 6-year career as the lead designer of ABC’s popular design show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Kim Lewis Designs was founded in 2012 in LA, while Kim was working for EM:HE. Singer/songwriter Jewel and actress Tiffani Amber Thiessen were among her first clients.
