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.

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 doesn’t go to coffee shops for their coffee – he much prefers drinking tea.
