As an interior designer, Kristina brings nearly a decade of industry experience and a passion for creating design solutions that remain ahead of the rapidly-evolving healthcare market. Her belief in an integrated approach to clinical planning and interior design results in spaces that don¡¯t sacrifice function for beauty.
For Kristina, the foundation of any successful project is a strong relationship with the client. She aims to truly understand an organization¡¯s brand identity and empathize with their vision for a project¡ªsuch as with her work at UPMC Pinnacle¡¯s West Shore hospital. There, Kristina and her team took the time to learn the culture that drove the client¡¯s needs. On the next project for UPMC Pinnacle, York Memorial hospital, Kristina took the lead, implementing the standards and lessons learned at West Shore.
On the weekends, however, you¡¯ll probably find Kristina mountain biking with her husband and their young daughter. Nothing quite matches the encouragement of a three-year-old that wants to go faster on a bike trail.
