IT’S ME,
CHRISTIE KRISTL
who i am and why it should matter to you
I once heard someone say interior design is the second most personal service you can receive behind a colonoscopy.
Okay… nobody actually said that, but I still believe that the design process is really personal.
Without launching into a long monologue about the importance of a bespoke abode, here’s the heart of it: my home has always been a source of joy for me, and my mission in design is simple - to help clients create spaces that feel inspiring, genuine, and joyful.
SPARKNOTES VERSION:
I genuinely like working with people. Always have. (this is not to be mistaken for me saying I like working with “everyone”. I don’t. Some people should not be human-facing). To me, it’s such a rewarding process to invest the time in getting to know my clients - what excites them, what motivates them, what don’t they like, why don’t they like it. Humans are interesting. Design is interesting. I truly like being the bridge that gaps those two worlds together.
While I like to say my company philosophy is rooted in joy and human understanding, I have a rigid core value system that ALWAYS includes:
RESPECT - KINDNESS - HONESTY - INTEGRITY
(and then a dash of humor and cat hair)
