Whether you're dreaming of a more functional + cozy living space, a more productive home office, or a commercial space that truly reflects your brand, this course is for you -- no design experience required! Over 3 hands-on sessions with Krista, Brooklyn-based interior designer and design strategist, you'll be guided to create an impactful + inspiring space that supports your most aspirational goals for your home or business. You'll be guided through each step of the process, from the big-picture vision all the way down to picking out colors and materials you can actually touch.
