Keri took the ‘Goldilocks’ route to her position at ENV. She grew up in Vermont, and after graduating from Endicott College in Massachusetts with her degree in Interior Design, she tried out a variety of jobs and homes before finding the perfect fit here.

She spent many years working in Connecticut designing millwork and display for luxury retail environments, but took a break in the middle to try out life in Kansas City working at a home design boutique.

Then she sampled the famed southern hospitality in Louisiana for a bit while working as a home decor and furniture salesperson, but that wasn’t quite right either. So eventually, like Goldilocks, she found her way to a project designer position at ENV, which she thinks is juuuuuust right.

When she isn’t surrounded by material samples or creating 3D models and renderings for her projects at ENV, Keri spends her time lounging with her 60 pound lapdogs, visiting her large and rowdy extended family, executing a plethora of home improvement and DIY projects, baking cupcakes, and counteracting the cupcakes with activities like yoga, hiking, downhill skiing, and coed kickball.

She dreams of getting her pilots license and a seaplane someday, and plans to frequently add to the list of 17 countries and 34 states that she has visited so far.

Kimberly and her husband are parents to two busy preschoolers and a golden retriever. They enjoy VCU basketball, summer evenings at the pool, and socializing with their friends in the city’s Near West End.

Kristina enjoys the team chemistry among colleagues here at ENV as well as the constant output of creativity and innovation for clients. She is an actual Los Angeles native (yes, they exist) who bleeds Dodgers blue and Lakers purple.

Besides her hometown sports teams, her favorite thing about LA is the diversity of cuisines and the ever evolving restaurant landscape throughout the city.  Friends and colleagues alike know that Kristina is the person to ask when in need of a restaurant recommendation.

She’s also the best person to go to when trying to plan a night out.  A music aficionado and trained dancer, Kristina can point you to any number of venues, lounges, bars that LA has to offer.  When not out discovering new things in her beloved city, Kristina loves spending time with her family, reading novels and watching past seasons of all the best 90s TV shows.

Razvan Teodorescu has always been fascinated by large cities. He’s always chosen to live in more urban areas where he can study not just the architecture, but also the culture and humanity. He grew up and went to school in Europe.

A naturally curious person, Razvan enjoys exploring new places and traveling. He’s a big fan of discovering what the outdoors has to offer. Yet he also likes the fast-paced sports of skiing and motorcycling.

In fact one of his favorite sports to follow is Moto GP. Razvan’s taste in music is quite eclectic, yet his taste in ice cream is one of the most classic ones – chocolate. And while he’s a fan of such television shows as Breaking Bad and Fargo, he’s just as likely to spend an evening with good food, wine and friends. Razvan doesn’t go to coffee shops for their coffee – he much prefers drinking tea.

A Korean War veteran, Richard was hired by ENV straight out of the service in 1955. Raised in New York, one of his first jobs was designing the facility for Sabena Belgian Air Lines at Idlewild Airport in NYC. (That airport was later renamed the John F. Kennedy Airport in 1963.)

Richard maintained residences in both New York and Los Angeles for decades, commuting back and forth between coasts. In fact, he only just recently sold his NY apartment. Since his daughters both married California men (and he now has four California grandchildren), it made more sense to stay in California full-time with his wife of 60 years.

He learned to snow ski in Vermont. But once he discovered the milder weather for skiing in Mammoth, CA, he was happy to leave the bitter cold slopes on the East Coast behind. When he was younger, Richard raced sailboats. Now he says it’s “better to have friends with boats.” In his spare time, Richard enjoys reading historical biographies.
