About

I’m a creative, detail-driven interior designer with 10+ years leading high-profile hospitality, commercial, and multi-family projects from concept to completion. I specialize in curating FF&E and developing concept imagery to support a design vision, while coordinating with technical teams, clients, and consultants to ensure accuracy and clarity.

As the owner of Kresina Studios and a former designer at Beyer Blinder Belle and other firms, I mentor junior designers, manage projects from concept through construction administration, and deliver brand-aligned designs that balance aesthetics with function and budget. I excel at client presentations and FF&E specification, consistently translating vision into tangible spaces.
