Kristen graduated in 1984 from the Salt Lake School of Interior Design, and has been pursuing creative endeavors ever since. She also attended the University of Utah where she focused on business skills. Her career has taken her through many aspects of design where her creative passion was put to use. She was called upon to start and become supervisor for Wildflowers at Weston, a floral shop she helped to create at a century’s old, family owned and operated, 1000 acre nursery in the rolling hills of New England. Her years in the Boston area allowed her to go on many buying trips throughout the New England area and primarily in New York City. She earned her Interior CLT (Certified Landscape Technician) and also her Master Gardener Certificate during this time. Currently, Kristen also owns her own business, Inside Out Designs.
During her downtime, you will find Kristen in her garden growing the unusual, writing, hiking with her dog and friends, skiing, doing yoga, riding her bike, journaling, and especially spending time with her husband and 4 kids who are her true passion. Her spirituality defines her and keeps her grounded. Kristen chooses to look for the positive in life, because after all…you find what you go looking for![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
