Client Testimonials
River Forest Kitchen
“We worked with Christina on a gut rehab kitchen and dining room renovation that required a wall removal. Throughout the project, she was able to gracefully navigate the myriad challenges that arise when dealing with a home built in the mid-1930s. Christina can clearly articulate pros and cons at critical decision points and always strives to reflect the clients’ needs and preferences in everything she does. She is also an exceptional interior designer, which comes across in her architectural recommendations and collaborated seamlessly with our kitchen designer on the project. Christina delivered significant value throughout the process and is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the finished product. I’ve since recommended Christina to friends and neighbors and would unquestionably use her on our next project! “
Logan Square Residence
" We could not be happier with our new home, and the project wouldn't have been possible if not for Christina's design, guidance, and patience. As a client, I would say that our taste and vision for the project were well developed. We knew what we wanted our completed renovation to feel like, and Christina did a great job of translating our ideas into reality. From a design perspective, she knew how to maximize the footprint of our home. Every inch is put to good use and a standard Chicago lot is more than enough room for our family. On the finishes, Christina knows all the options--from tile to appliances and fixtures--and she is very skilled at helping her clients make smart choices in ways that meet a project's needs. And Christina was a lifesaver during the renovation itself. She was always happy to help with site visit tours and negotiations with our contractor and crew. I never knew how valuable it is to have a trained designer on call during the construction phase itself. As I said--we couldn't have done it without her! "
Glenn Ellyn Interiors
“We hired Christina when we bought our first house to help make it feel like our home. From the first meeting, we felt very comfortable and at ease with Christina. She asked thoughtful questions and really listened to understand our sense of style and what we were looking for as a finished product. Throughout the process, Christina was caring, thoughtful, professional and showed great attention to detail. Her vision for our home and the outcome far exceeded our expectations. Our house now truly feels like a home where we can relax, enjoy and entertain. It was a joy working with Christina and we are grateful to have had her talented eye guide us through the process.”
Dance Studio
"Christina is amazing. She has worked on two projects for us. One designing a total redo of our house while working for Hamilton + Aitken and one turning our dilapidated garage in to a beautiful dance studio in our backyard on her own. The studio is gorgeous, if I may say. Christina is a pleasure to work with. She also good at listening and making what we wanted become a reality. She also had wonderful suggestions and was patient with us while we caught up to understanding that her ideas were way better than what we were thinking initially. Also her eye for color is wonderful. She suggested beautiful things we never would have come up with on our own, and people always compliment us on when they come to our home. The one time we made a color choice without her it was a disaster and we had to repaint the exterior of the house."
