Michelle fell in love with the creative process at an early age. For her, art-making in any medium has always been magical and incredibly rewarding. At one time she studied graphic design, however, after a lackluster semester she felt disenchanted. All it took to regain that spark was one color theory class. In studying the relationships between colors and discovering how schemes can play against designs, she saw endless possibilities. She soon switched her focus and earned her Associate’s Degree in Interior Design and Planning. Michelle also holds a Bachelors of Arts in Business Management.

Working for an architectural millwork company was her first introduction to the construction world. Seeing drawings and samples of products used in high-end Las Vegas casinos was inspiring. Her next job at an energy efficiency company opened the door to building science where she learned about new home construction geared toward zero net energy use. However, it was in her first design assistant role with a semi-custom home builder that Michelle completely fell in love with the home creation process. Helping home buyers select their finishes was the perfect way to combine her vast knowledge and experience up to that point.

Through the seasons of her career, the unifying aspect has been customer service. She is passionate about providing an elevated experience for clients. Her innate ability to build trust through connection and clear communication has served her well professionally and continues to be the foundation of her interaction with the team and our clients today.

Michelle is an avid locavore and pop culture enthusiast who enjoys exploring nearby events, eateries, and farmer’s markets. Her favorite way to spend a weekend is adventuring with her husband and two Boston Terrier “fur-kids.”

From a young age, Kristin was fascinated by the “built” environment. In playing with Legos and creating Barbie houses out of clothing boxes, she discovered how design can transform a house into a home. This love of building and design moved Kristin to earn her Master of Interior Architecture through UCLA Extension. She is an Allied member of the American Society of Interior Designers. Her professional experience includes space planning, FF&E Selection, project management, creating construction documents, AutoCAD, and experience as a studio designer.

Good communication is essential to the success of a project. That starts with knowing how to listen. Kristin strives to give her clients a space that will meet their functional needs. She also recognizes the importance of using her expertise to guide their creativity without pushing an agenda that doesn’t serve them.

She’s an avid tennis player and enjoys discovering new restaurants with friends. She’s a firm believer that you can’t go wrong with good cheese, bread, and wine!
