Catherine Willey, Store Manager
I draw on more than twenty years experience in furniture manufacturing, design and textiles to create wonderfully inviting and livable design. I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts where I studied Merchandising, Marketing, and Fine Arts. Trends in fashion, including home décor, are ever evolving and staying true to the individual I'm designing for is key to creating a lasting interior environment. A home design can incorporate our favorite things, interests, travel, and trends … fun and your idea of comfort also come into play.
My personal passion in design includes re-purposing and green design. Circle Furniture enables me to offer all of these things to my clients and I very much enjoy our ‘over the top' customer care focus.

I started working for Circle in September of 2018. I went to school for fashion merchandising and graduated in 2009, and then went on to work at Anthropologie underneath an artist to help create the window displays. More recently, I worked in bridal where I was in charge of all the merchandising because I had a keen eye for spatial awareness. Growing up my mom was always interested in design and I always had an artistic eye, but it was when I bought my house that I knew that interior design was the direction I wanted to go into.
My design philosophy centers on making the client comfortable and happy in the space they’re in. I’ve been working in customer service for many years and have always loved having interactions with people and creating a comfortable environment where I can help them in the best way that I can.
I believe I’m unique for Circle because of my new perspective and fresh ideas. I love working at Circle because everything you’re looking at is meant to inspire.
Outside of work I love spending time with my children, doing family activities, and hiking.

I am a highly creative and versatile designer with both professional design and customer service experience. I have both a Bachelor of Fine Art in Textile Design and a Master of Interior Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design. I love assisting customers with furniture and fabric coordination, all the while keeping an eye towards balancing scale and proportion. Whether it is one piece or an entire home, I will listen carefully to all of your needs and priorities, and bring all the considerations into harmony. I look forward to working with you and creating something beautiful!
