ABOUT

As President and Principal of Christine Desiree Furniture and Interior Design, Christine has provided interior product and design expertise to many clients in her 20+ year career.

A Sarasota, Florida native, Christine graduated with Honors from Ringling College of Art + Design and began her career working for a highly-acclaimed American Indian and Japanese architectural firm located in Denver, Colorado, which fostered her love of the Japanese culture and aesthetics. 

Years later she relocated back to her hometown of Sarasota, bringing her wealth of knowledge and began her own extraordinary interior and furniture design firm, focusing on the simplicity of Japanese design merged with the tropical beauty of the Sarasota area. Her furniture graces many homes, hotels, and showrooms around the world, such as the home of singer-songwriter Shakira, the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo Marunouchi, Westin Hotels Marriott®, and the Ritz-Carlton®, to name just a few.

Christine has received many awards for her designs and has been published in journals like ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST and FLORIDA DESIGN. Upon her success, Ringling College of Art + Design selected her as a two-term member of their Board of Trustees, which is a very high honor.
