From a very young age, Kristen Rivoli has had a passion for design. Always creating and sketching, she designed clothes and shoes as well as redesigned rooms in her parents' home. Kristen's love of Fashion and the Art world continue to influence her designs, bringing a fresh and unique inspiration to every project whether it be residential, hospitality or commercial. Her ability to utilize color palettes both bold or quiet, with creative use of patterns and textures has helped her win many awards and accolades in the design community. Her expertise blends Traditional pieces with Mid Century designs or European antiques with Morrocan accents to create one of a kind, livable projects. Kristen's discerning eye brings together striking, modern refinement and enduring traditional details to showcase each space in a way that reflects not just her style sense but also the client’s vision.

Rivoli's work has been featured in publications including New England Home, Boston Common, Boston Home and the Boston Globe magazine among many others. Kristen was named one of Boston's rising stars in Interior Design by Boston Common and had a Master Bathroom project of distinction featured on HGTV's I want that Bath! With her warm and engaging personality, Kristen sets the tone for her Clients to enjoy the design process and maintains the attitude that design is fun and stress free, always keeping the priorities of the Client in the forefront.

A native of western New York and a graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, she currently resides outside of Boston, Massachusetts with her family. She continues to enjoy traveling locally and abroad drawing inspiration from those as well as her every day experiences.
