The Olivia Newton-John of Design!
If 2020 (aka the longest Tuesday in record) didn’t force you to think about it, now is your time!

Kristy is the all-around expert of taking risks and making your dreams come to life with precision and organization (you gotta plan, people!), so she’s here to smooth out your edges and get you started in the right direction.
Grab your coffee, grab your tea, and let’s talk it out!
