Journal Intro
Builders and pros do not need another moving part. You need a partner who makes the job easier, keeps decisions moving, and helps the project finish clean.
That is exactly how I work.
I am Kimberly Price, Owner and Principal Designer at KP Planning and Design. I design kitchens and baths with a builder’s mindset. Clear plans, buildable details, and a process that respects your timeline. I am here to support your team, not slow it down.
The real problem on projects
Most delays do not start on the jobsite. They start when selections are unclear, drawings are incomplete, or decisions keep changing midstream.
You have probably dealt with at least one of these:
- Clients who want “custom” but cannot decide
- Cabinets ordered late or ordered wrong
- Endless texts, calls, and site pop ins for small decisions
- Changes that could have been avoided with better planning
- Trades waiting because the next step is not defined
That is the expensive part. Not just money. Time, momentum, and reputation.
My role in the partnership

When you (Builders and Professionals) partner with me, I step in as your design and cabinetry lead so your team can stay focused on building. I help you lock in layouts early, make selections faster, reduce rework and change orders, create documentation contractors can actually use, and keep communication organized and clear. I become the steady point of contact for the design details, so you are not carrying that load.
What you get as a builder or pro
1. Faster decisions with less client overwhelm
Clients love choices until they are staring at 47 cabinet doors and 12 whites that all look the same.
I guide them through a streamlined selection process. They feel supported, you get answers, and the project keeps moving.
2. Clear plans that reduce questions on site
My deliverables are built for execution. I focus on layouts, cabinetry planning, and documentation that helps the contractor build it right the first time.
Less guessing. Fewer field adjustments. Fewer phone calls.
3. A smoother cabinetry process from start to finish
Cabinetry can be a pain point on any project if it is not managed well.
I help with:
- cabinet design and specifications
- coordinating details that affect install
- keeping orders aligned with the plan
- preventing missed pieces and last minute surprises
The goal is simple. Cabinets show up correctly and install goes smoothly.
4. A professional partner who protects your time
You are running schedules, managing trades, and keeping the client confident. You do not need to also babysit design decisions.
I keep the details moving and communicate what matters. You stay in the loop without being buried in it.
5. A better client experience that reflects well on you
When the design process feels calm and guided, clients associate that ease with your team too.
They feel taken care of. They feel like the project is organized. That builds trust and leads to better referrals.

What working together looks like
Partnerships can be flexible, but the goal stays the same. Clear direction, fast decisions, and a clean handoff to the build.
Most builder partnerships include:
- collaboration early during planning
- design direction for kitchens and baths
- cabinetry planning and ordering support
- build ready documentation and coordination
- a steady point of contact for design questions

“Kimberly is fantastic to work with. She is highly knowledgeable—not only in cabinetry, but in design as a whole. Her education and experience are a refreshing asset to the design community here in Eastern Washington.
I’ve worked with Kimberly on many projects and regularly rely on her expertise during both the design and spatial planning phases, as well as the cabinetry phase. Beyond her technical knowledge, she prioritizes customer satisfaction and long-term relationships. Whether you’re a contractor or a homeowner, I highly recommend working with Kimberly Price.”
