Bio
There has been an intense passion for art and design burning within this Winnipeg girl for as long as she can remember. Krista has devoted endless late nights to design projects at her archaic drafting table (a relic that Krista disallowed to be thrown away from her father's office).
A tenacious "do-it-herselfer" at the age of 14, that same drafting table was carefully sanded, patched up, painted to coordinate with her bedroom interior, and the focal point of her room for years to come. Not much has changed 18 years later, Krista still loves to, dream, sketch, design, build, and do-it-all... herself.
After graduating high school, Krista completed an honours diploma in Architectural Drafting and Design at Winnipeg Technical College, and then shifted gears to Computer Graphic Design and Animation. After working as a Graphic Designer for six years, Krista decided to take an entrepreneurial leap and opened her own, now booming, Home and Commercial Restoration Company.
Her education has served her well, but Krista's sharp aptitude, experience with many types of computer software programs, not to mention dealings in photography, art, painting and carpentry collaborate well to really round out her skills.
Krista is happily married and the proud mother of two beautiful children, an 8-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy.
