Hey there, I’m Krista.

I’m here to act as your guide through the design process. I want your home to feel like a complete expression of who you are, a comforting and restorative place you can’t imagine being without. 

For me, home is a place where I can be 100% myself. It’s where both my physical and spiritual selves have space to exist. It’s the one place where I feel most centered and grounded, giving me a chance to shake off any stress of the day. I see our homes as an extension of the people who co-habitat there, offering a glimpse into who we are as well as who we want to be.

 
 

Our home tells the story of us.

You’ve been drawn here because you’ve been considering a new home project. At this stage you don’t know exactly where to start or what directions you should go. You are looking for someone to be a trusted source of information, to guide you through the design process while also keeping your best interests in mind.

I’m here to be that resource for you. I can break down the process into easy to digest pieces and actionable steps and work to think about all the items you may not hold the knowledge to know. 

You don’t need to do this alone. You just need the right person advocating for you and your needs.

  • “Krista and I started working together on project collaboration over 10 years ago. Her skill sets as an Architectural Technologist and mine as a Registered Interior Design go so well together providing a project that has taken into account every aspect of the client's lifestyle, hopes and desires. Krista's knowledge of the building code, technical knowledge and her desire to understand you, as the client, is what sets her apart.”

    — Adrienne Federowich, Director of DesignBAID, NCIDQ® Certificate No. 27111

  • “Krista's breadth of skills and knowledge is exactly what I need, as I move forward with owning my brilliance in all areas of life. She has this incredible ability to actively listen, pause, and eloquently summarize what I've just spent the last few minutes saying; as a result, I'm able to gain clarity in a short amount of time and take action on that gift of clarity (which is perfect because as a business owner/entrepreneur/stepmom, I don't have much time in my life!). Krista also leans into her intuition and offers suggestions that seem to come from thin air, but that simply work.”

    — Amanda Perrot, Grounded Goodness
