After many years working with furniture companies during my interior design career, I found there was a need for creating custom luxury furniture for clients, so in 2001 I embarked on developing the Christine Desiree Collection custom furniture line. My furniture quickly caught the eye of many hospitality, commercial, and residential companies world-wide through showrooms in San Francisco, DCOTA, DND Building - NYC, Chicago Merchandise Mart, among many others. Working with local, regional, and national furniture manufacturers, as well as with hundreds of showrooms and dealers, my knowledge level grew to an expert level in materials, textiles, and finishes.
