Kristen
Totah, ASID, Interior Designer, specializes in Kitchen and Bath design personally suited to each client. After completing
her BA in Psychology from University of California, Santa Barbara, Kristen earned a BA in Environmental Factors in Interiors
from California State University, Long Beach. She is a member of both ASID and NKBA. Since 1993, Kristen has enjoyed the challenge of creating interior
environments that combine the client’s functional requirements and aesthetic preferences with fresh design resulting
in a luxurious, dynamic composition. She approaches each space as an empty canvas with unlimited possibilities. Ultimately,
her greatest reward is the fulfillment of the client’s design vision. After initially
embarking on a career in Hospitality Design, Kristen accepted the position of Design Director for Cutting Edge Studio in Maui,
Hawaii from 1998 to 2007. There she designed upscale residential interiors for an impressive array of distinguished clients.
In 2007, she expanded her client base, opening STUDIO K Kitchens and Design, based in Santa Cruz, California.
She now operates as Principal and Design Director for both STUDIO K Kitchens and Design in California, and Cutting Edge Kitchens
and Design in Maui, Hawaii. Kristen has won numerous
design awards, including the honor of being a 2-time regional winner of the prestigious Subzero Wolf Design Contest, an International
design competition. In 2008, she was honored to sit on the 7 person panel with her esteemed colleagues to judge this event.
She has also garnered awards in competitions such as the NKBA Phil Zweedyk award, BIA Grand award, along with many NKBA and
ASID Honor and Merit awards. Kristen’s designs have been featured in numerous publications including
Great American Kitchens, Hawaiian Style Magazine, Coastal Living, Maui No Ka Oi, and Hawaii Home and Remodeling. |
