Kristyn Harvey
Principal Designer & Founder
Kristyn Harvey Interiors was born from a love of family togetherness and a desire to reduce the friction in daily life. Kristyn’s philosophy is to compose efficient home spaces that also feel like a breath of fresh air; spaces that reduce the number of steps it takes to get things done, allowing you to devote time to your passions. By doing that you are inadvertently improving your mental and physical health.
Kristyn currently lives in Solana Beach, CA with her Husband Scott and two high energy boys, Case (6) and Trevor (4). In her free time Kristyn enjoys spending time with family, gardening with her kids, and building furniture with her husband.
“I want your house to be an extension of your family; to be that warm hug that greets you when you come home.”
