INSPIRED BY HER dairy conscious younger sister, Founder of Kate’s Ice Cream Katelyn Williams recently established a permeant residence for her growing plant-based and gluten-free ice cream business on S. Mississippi Avenue. In collaboration with Casework Interior Design (Portland, Ore.), the resultant space is inviting yet minimalistic, and packed with pastels.

The storefront welcomes customers to enjoy their sweet treats by first visiting the bright ombre counter upon entering, which includes seven layers of peachy and sorbet inspired color selections.

In an effort to complement the locally sourced ingredients found in Katelyn’s ice cream, the store features works from local artists and designers. Along the back wall, a mural by Lynzee Lynx (a local artist and friend of Katelyn) brings a level of vibrancy as well as dimension to the space. A variety of white oak furniture designed by Casework provides a comfortable space for customers to enjoy their ice cream or simply relax.
