Our Team
Based in Berkeley, California, Lane McNab Interiors infuses a sophisticated sensibility into residential and commercial interiors. The firm specializes in primary and secondary homes, boutique retail spaces, and large scale projects with a vast knowledge of historical architecture. Opened in 2012, Lane McNab Interiors quickly outgrew their first location and moved to a spacious light filled studio near the renowned West Berkeley Fourth Street Shopping District.
LANE McNAB
Founder and Principal
A Southern transplant, Lane grew up in Tallahassee, FL and completed undergraduate studies at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN. Soon after she moved to the West Coast where she attended the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Graduating with advanced degrees in vocal performance, she pursued her music career spending several years as a highly-acclaimed operatic soprano in leading roles throughout the Bay Area.
After years of extensive travel and studies abroad, Lane left opera singing to manage the demands of a growing family. When she returned to the working world, she focused on her other artistic passion: designing interiors. Before founding Lane McNab Interiors in 2012, she apprenticed with a local design and construction firm as a designer and project manager which gave her an invaluable hands-on experience and a deep knowledge of the design and construction process.
A continuously curious learner with a passion for beauty, uniqueness, detail, and quality Lane has created a firm with a team of like-minded professionals giving her a devoted clientele and close relationships with vendors and tradespeople throughout the Bay Area. Her designs have been featured in numerous publications and tastemaker sites. When not passionately pursuing design, Lane spends her free time with her three children and three pets in their 115 year old house in Berkeley, CA.
Kate McEachern
Chief Operating Officer
Shortly after graduating from Berkeley, Kate began her design career as an editor for Dwell Magazine. In the decade since her time at Dwell, she has become a serial entrepreneur—founding and designing restaurants and workspaces, piloting the Plus program for Airbnb, and transforming Bay Area homes through thoughtful, process-oriented design. Her work has been featured in Dwell and on HGTV.
In her spare time, Kate uses her pastry training to make decadent desserts, builds furniture, hikes with her rescue pitbull, and volunteers as a reentry advisor at San Quentin prison.

Danielle’s time at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) led her to study abroad in both Hong Kong and France where she grew an even greater appreciation for all styles of design within different cultures. Danielle has worked in both commercial and residential interior design settings and has found her happy place joining the LMI team in 2021. Additionally, she has a background in Fiber Arts, and has learned how to weave, dye, and block print, adding to her love of textiles.
