At Kristin Alvarado Design, every project begins with your story. How you live, what brings you joy, and where your space feels full of potential. We begin by listening closely, then collaborate with you to design environments that are not only beautiful but personal, functional, and deeply meaningful.

Our goal is simple: when you walk through your door, you should feel completely at home and think, “Yes! This is so me”.

It’s your delight is that drives our design.

We approach every project with care, creativity, and intention. Designing spaces that enhance daily life, reflect who you are, and feel like a true reflection of your world.
