This week on the podcast Adventure on Deck…
When we bought Abide, it was clear that she was built for something more. And part of what helped her reach her potential was the newly designed interior.
In this episode, I sit down with Kate Seremeth, owner of TACK studios and the interior designer behind Abide’s stunning look. Kate’s goal is to create art on the water, capturing the joy and emotion of being on the ocean. As one of her lucky clients, I can attest to her skill and vision. Even better, her kindness, sensitivity and sense of beauty are apparent in her work and, today, in our conversation.
Kate shares her story from starting out in industrial design to becoming a specialist in yacht interiors. Growing up in Maine, surrounded by water, it’s no surprise that Kate found herself drawn to working on boats, but her path into this unique niche is anything but conventional.
Kate talks about the challenges she faces designing for the unique features of a sailboat and how she balances human comfort with aesthetics and durability. She gives us an inside look into the process of designing Abide’s interior and shares stories of some of the incredible other projects she’s worked on.
