Angelica Christi · Design

Angelica's done several home improvement projects for us including design, renovation, venetian plasters, faux finishing, painting, tile work, and landscape. Her work was done with great care and her artistic eye made for special touches.

"I first met Angelica Christi in 1990 in Oregon when I was having Blue prints made of an award winning landscape project I had completed. Angelica came over to view my drawings and loved my style, which I had noted was similar to the theme of drawings she had done. She wanted to apprentice with me as she knew the importance of interior and exterior design creating a masterful harmony, and I agreed. Angelica worked for me on landscape projects for almost two years. At the time, I had begun work as a consultant and landscape architect on a large 20-acre property with a purposed 21,000 sq ft home. Angelica was the first one I thought of to refer as a Designer on the project due to her ability and love for palatial design. She proved her skills with her keen eye for craftsmanship, beauty and quality. She was a skilled negotiator of art and antiques, and the ability to suggest and choose quality products and hard surfaces that would endure over generations. After the completion of this job, and I began to do interior design, I brought Angelica into my upper end projects that required faux-finishes or Venetian plasters, as this was another specialty of hers. This included walls, furniture and fixtures. Angelica has an eye for color, texture and flow, and I could trust that because of her ability to take in the environment, as well as seeing my vision and the clients wishes into consideration, each project was a great success. I have worked with Angelica on projects for 24 years."

I have had the good fortune of working with Angelica several times over the last few years. Her ability to distill the multiple ideas I have had down to what it is that I was truly trying to achieve has been a godsend. She takes the time to listen to how I want a room to "feel" then takes the time to understand the space: How the natural light changes throughout the day; How I use that room and how the room flows (or doesn't) into its surrounding space. Her understanding of color is unparalleled and her keen eye for furniture and object d'art placement has transformed many a room for me. I am always happiest in any space that Angelica has created and highly recommend her skills and talent.

I have contracted Christi Design for several large projects at my in-home Bed & Breakfast Inn. Each time, Angelica has done exceptional work, and far exceeded my expectations in consultation in color and design, as well as execution. Once she accepts a job, you don’t have to worry about a thing; she does all of the ordering, shopping and coordinating. Her work is meticulous, and she completed the jobs on time. The most recent project included a software design of a bedroom and laundry room addition. She brilliantly created the room layout, including all detail of raised paneling, open beamed ceiling, arches, windows, doors and flooring. The contractors only had to view her rendition on the screen and they were able to replicate her vision perfectly. I am completely delighted with the finished product. I do not attempt any creative projects without the advice and expertise of Angelica Christi and Christi Design. I welcome any emails or calls to further this reference. ~Liz Clarke, Kate Stanton Inn

“Working with Angelica is a unique experience. Most designers do not take the time to actually listen to what I am trying to convey and what I am trying to achieve. From the outset, Angelica worked with me, being very careful to take my needs and considerations into account. Instead of telling me what I should do, she is different – she jumped in and worked side by side with me and my partners, and will even happily do the work herself” John Vidura Smallen, Retreat Manager “Angelica has been a dream to work with. She is creative, fun, innovative, intuitive and wise. One feels as though one is working alongside a friend instead of someone one just met. She is kind and considerate and very intuitive – seemingly to know just the right touch in every situation. It has been a real joy to create harmony and beauty with her knowledge, gaiety and humility always at the forefront of any project.” Durga Smallen, Retreat Manager

I have worked with Angelica Christi in the past with several aspects of her business. Her energy is limitless. Her skills are very broad based and refined. She is an artist. Working with Angelica gives you the ability to recreate the wheel. Whether you are looking to enhance your current home, profit by investment, prepare a home for market, take photos and enhance photography for marketing purposes, or just about anything to do with home design, the opportunity to work with Angelica is a real gift. Angelica has a gift, and I believe she has mastered that gift, of faux design, indoors or out. And when working with her, outside is as important as inside the home. Every home can be enhanced tremendously with insightful landscaping. The sooner the better, as money can grow on trees!” ~Todd Van Laanen, Broker Associate, Alain Pinel Realtors.
