ooking for to an event setting. Upon initially being introduced to and meeting Kristina, her energy spoke volumes before she even uttered a word. My events are highly orchestrated, fun, but tight running ships and I don't work with just any creative partner. Working with Kristina was not only a pleasure but she helped make the event day what it was. Her calm, bubbly and positive energy and personality brought levity to what is always a packed and hectic event day. She cares about her clients and that goes beyond simply making them feel comfortable in her chair. She pays attention to the products she uses, making sure you arrive prepared and at ease to have the best day or night of your life. She's a creative partner that I would highly recommend.
