"I have worked with K2 Interior Designs and Kristen on projects for two of my residences. What is most important to me is that she has a very strong sense of design grounded in pragmatism. She has steered me away from making some potentially costly mistakes with an outcome that far exceeded what I had ever envisioned. Her approach is to listen not only to what her client is saying they want, but also to what they aren’t saying — picking up on subtle clues behind what a client is trying to achieve. She will tell you when she disagrees with you but works collaboratively to come up with a solution that is better than what you expected. For me, this is what designers should do, and she has done it in spades on numerous occasions for my family. Plus, her wonderful sense of humor is a great asset when working with her clients and all the other trades needed to pull a project together.”
