Rooted in Kaua‘i and shaped by a love of storytelling, our work is guided by the belief that the most meaningful homes are the ones that reflect the people who live within them.
Christina Higham is, first and foremost, a collector of experiences. Her design choices are informed by her other passions: music, art, fashion, and travel. She creates vibrant, lived-in spaces that mirror the lifestyles and personalities of those that dwell inside.
Christina’s philosophy is that the inspiration we find out in the world should find a home within our daily lives. Her own signature style is a reflection of her lifestyle; on any given day, you might find her planning her next sourcing trip or hopping in the ocean for a quick surf on the North Shore of Kauai.
Christina studied art history at UCLA and completed design coursework through UC Berkeley’s interior design program. Prior to launching her own firm, she designed homes throughout the Bay Area for One Kings Lane and designed more than 600 projects globally as a Senior Designer for hospitality start-up Sonder. Those experiences taught Christina how to see a home's true potential and identify exactly what it needs to bring it to life.
Christina’s interior design services are comprehensive and client-centric. Her ultimate goal is to help her clients define and develop their personal aesthetic, then to implement it in a way that is timeless, comfortable, and unique to them. Look for her work in publications like Architectural Digest, Rue Magazine, HGTV Magazine, Fast Company, and Domino.
