Key Topics Covered: Kristy’s unconventional path into interior design: from a decade as a software and embedded systems engineer to retraining at the Design Institute of San Diego and starting her own studio. How her technical/engineering background informs her design process — especially problem solving, usability, organization. Founding her design firm in San Diego in 2008; moving the business to San Francisco in 2014, then relocating to Berlin and building an international practice. Expanding her services: emphasizing lighting design and integrating her engineering + interior design expertise. Her current master’s thesis topic: Advancing Quality of Light in California Homes . Discussion of residential versus commercial design, and why Kristy values residential for its personal connection to clients. Insights into her lighting design philosophy — the role of color temperature, color rendering (CRI, TM‑30), layering light, the importance of proper lighting in realizing design. Her decision to say “yes” to the board role for ASID: giving back, supporting the chapter, helping bridge student/professional gaps. What her upcoming year as President‑Elect looks like: supporting the President, focusing on student involvement, launching new programs, lighting‑focused chapter meeting coming up on November 19 at Blackwell Lighting & Home in Encinitas. Ways for listeners (designers, students, industry partners) to connect with her and the chapter.
