Step 1. Initial Inquiry & Alignment

Every project begins with a conversation. Christen takes time to understand your goals, scope, timeline, and how you live in your space. This step ensures the project is the right fit and sets clear expectations before moving forward.

step 4. Implementation & Completion

The final phase brings everything together. Christen oversees the finishing details to ensure the completed space feels cohesive, thoughtful, and aligned with the original vision, resulting in a home that supports everyday living.

step 3. Design Development & Coordination

As the design takes shape, details are refined and selections are made. For projects that require it, Christen coordinates with trades and collaborators to ensure the design is executed with care and consistency.

Step 2. Vision & Direction

With a shared understanding in place, Christen develops the overall design direction. This includes spatial planning, material considerations, and a cohesive aesthetic approach tailored to your home and lifestyle.

"Christen is a superstar! I cannot imagine completing our home renovation without her guidance, wisdom and impeccable taste. Not only does she have incredible insight and vision, I feel like her real talent lies in ensuring that the client's home feels like *the client*. She shines in helping people discover and articulate their own vision. I feel like our home is the manifestations of our style and Christen led us there! She is so kind, thoughtful and so easy to work with on every level. Cannot recommend her more highly!"

- Betsy R.

"A few things I appreciate about Christen's style and professionalism:
- She is knowledgeable about trends but doesn't carried away by them. I feel like the style in our home will hold over many, many years.
- She is knowledgeable about products at all different price points. I found that she can work within a budget and also guide you towards where it might be worth it to splurge.
- Her designs feel livable. We have two kids under 4, so we can't have one of those homes that feel like a museum. Our home is our home, some days its a mess, but when we tidy up, it looks great!"

- Elena T.

“Absolutely loved working on our Austin home with Christen! She transformed each room into a purposeful and cohesive space. She also guided us through the layout, finishes, and fixtures for our Colorado renovation, which was a logistical challenge. Christen really listens and is amazing to work with. Highly recommend!”

- Lauren K.
