PAT CONNER, Designer
“I am a minimalist, no foo foo,” says Pat Conner of a philosophy shaped early on by her family’s interests in architecture and design. She studied interior design at Kansas State University and the Kansas City Art Institute. She joined the industry in 1975, Madden-McFarland six years later. Pat has an innate understanding of scale and proportion. Her disciplined approach works well with architects and clients alike.

PERSONAL STATEMENT
People don’t want to look like their neighbor, they want their home to be stunning. They want a comfortable environment, but one that is unique. Reading the client is key. My clients, many of whom are “lifer” relationships, trust me because I am direct and open. I listen to their wishes, but I also know when to push the envelope. I give a home personality and flair––not by filling it up with stuff––but by selecting signature pieces and giving them focus. I like to create a dynamic look by incorporating strong art and classical styles from different eras.
