ABOUT

I know you’re busy. You don’t need lengthy meetings and glossy magazine cut-outs to identify your unique style. You already know what you want. It’s time to get someone experienced to bring your vision to life.

Speaking of experience…

Hi, I’m Cristina, a Toronto-based interior designer and artist. I’m thrilled you found me.

Many designers focus exclusively on super-niche upscale projects. That’s not me. In over three decades of practice, I’ve worked on projects of various sizes, helping clients with big appetites for design—and (sometimes) skinny wallets. I approach each project with patience, insight, and a custom-tailored solution.

But wait…

I’m not just an interior designer. I grew up in a family of artists and carried my passion for painting like a torch—from kindergarten to university and beyond. That means I can draw inspiration from various sources and create an interior that seamlessly suits your personality and lifestyle. When I’m not designing or painting, I love to travel and to experiment with new foods. For breakfast, I feast on inspirational blogs—dark espresso on the side. As cliche as it may sound, I thrive when I’m around my two incredible children and my close friends.

My desert island picks include a bottle of Cabo Wabo, Ryan Holiday’s “The Daily Stoic” and Keith Jarrett’s Köln Concert.

MY MANIFESTO

We live in an exciting time. New technologies and the digital revolution have enabled us to design spaces and experiences in ways we’ve never imagined. This comes with greater responsibility—not only to one another but also to the most welcoming landlord there is—our planet.

Below are the things I believe in.

Minimal is exceptional.
Sustainable is meaningful.
More or bigger are only better if they bring you joy.
Inexpensive, smart design solutions are better that expensive cookie-cutters.
