"My studies with Sothebys Institute was based in connoisseurship. Color theory, architecture and its theories, history of design: all of these elements have shaped the way I think and look at things, and with a deep, broader, and better-rounded perspective…” Design New England interview 2011
"Thoughtful, energetic, and the most knowledgeable designer I've met, Christine is great at teaming up with even the least "designer-y" clients and gelling creative solutions that sing for them while honoring the history and aesthetics of the surroundings. She is an encyclopedia of decorative arts know-how and guides the toughest choices for color, hardware, fixtures, furnishings and everything else with a minimum of fuss!" Sarah Monzon, producer at Bob Vila, This Old House, and The History Channel.
