"In my twenty plus years of experience working in the design industry, certain clients stand out from the rest; Kris Johnston is one of those few. Working with her has always been a pleasurable experience, and it's been my privilege to come to know and respect her. During the various projects we've worked on together, she has proven time and again that, whether in the residential market or the commercial aspect of real estate, all that she touches "turns to gold." Kris's vision not only allows the creativity of design to flow but also makes it easy to maintain a good working relationship, even during the most challenging situations and complexities that come with the territory. Her experience and ability to foresee beyond the basic and elementary aspects of a project gives her an edge among others in the business. She becomes a valuable asset to any individual seeking her assistance. I strongly recommend Kris's expertise to anyone searching to profit in the real estate market."
