Christine established the firm in 1998 following a career with Sotheby's, the London auction house. Once the designer on the Emmy award-winning television show, This Old House, she holds an M.A. in Fine and Decorative Art, and trained at Sotheby’s Institute (U.K.), Harvard, and National Trust houses. These experiences gave her in-depth knowledge of historical interiors. Christine is listed with Preserve Rhode Island, is a member of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) of New England, was a vetted Design Services Designer at the Boston Design Center, and a decade long Leadership Board member of Boston Design Week. She co-founded the beloved Rhode Island design store, The Cottage at Four Corners, in her twenties. She also is an avid art collector. Christine gives back in the areas of education, the Arts and green spaces, and has two grown children (one who loves antiques and the other prefers modern style!)
The team includes an assistant designer who holds a Masters in Interior Architecture and our a long-time office administrator.
"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.
