UNIQ You Mentoring – Kat McDonnell

We’re proud to see our Interior Design and Development Manager, Kat McDonnell, representing Paynters as part of the UNIQ You Mentor Panel — an incredible initiative connecting high school girls with female advisors in industries where women are traditionally underrepresented.

From re-imagining her own room as a child to leading interior design on large-scale projects, Kat has turned her creativity and passion into a career shaping safe, functional, and engaging spaces.

Through UNIQ You, she’s showing students that you don’t need to have your entire path mapped out to take the first step — trust your curiosity, explore what excites you, and back yourself along the way.

Inspiring the next generation of women in design and construction — because your path is uniquely yours.
