Christina Rymer

Senior Design Director

After more than a decade in our industry, Christina believes design should support her clients’ lives as a reflection of them and their values. The relationships she builds with her clients and their families are her favorite part of the design-build process, which extends to our entire production team. Backed by a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design at The Art Institutes, Christina understands the relationship of how interiors affect homeowners. Beyond the initial design phase of listening and relating to her clients, she enjoys the holistic and creative shared experience of seeing the construction process come alive. Outside of work, her passion is creating a home environment where family and friends enjoy gathering together and the concept of time escapes them.

Sydney Monson

DESIGN DIRECTOR

From as far back as Sydney can remember, her dream has always been to become an interior designer. Initially, Sydney spent three years working in commercial design before settling into residential design, supported by her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design from the University of Wisconsin – Stout. For her, the most fulfilling aspect of her job is enhancing the beauty of someone’s home and transforming their space into a place they are proud to return to. Every design presents a unique opportunity, and she loves contributing to a client’s story by creating stunning finishes and spaces where lasting memories can be made. Outside of work, Sydney enjoys quality time with her family, husband, and their two goldendoodles, Archie and Enzo!
