“We love the way Kirsti set out to understand who we are and get to know us before she began offering design recommendations.” Kirsti works hard, and her product selections arrived timely. We would absolutely recommend Kirsti. Kirsti became a trusted friend through our project, and we are looking forward to the next time we can work together.

Kirsti Wolfe has great design creativity, years of varied experience, deep current trend and resource knowledge, and collaborative, positive relationships with vendors and contractors. Her technical and architecture expertise set her apart from other designers. Kirsti did several recent major remodels on our homes in two states, and changed dated, frustrating rooms into beautiful, functional living spaces. Her attention to detail is amazing. She’s flexible, fun and a pleasure to work with. Both of our contractoes truly enjoyed working with her and consulted her often. Highly recommend Kirsti!

When we decided to build our dream home, neither of us had had any experience with building, or even so much as remodeling. But we had a vision of what we wanted. Thank goodness someone suggested we contact Kirsti Wolfe, an interior architect! She listened and understood our ideas. She guided us through every aspect of the project, from the smallest detail to bigger concepts, always keeping our budget and our vision in mind. Her professsionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail astounded our builder, as well as his subs, with whom she worked closely.Kirsti made the project fun. As I look around our home now, 19 years later, I am so appreciative of her creativity and extraordinary eye for detail. There are so many things that we wouldn’t have known about and workdn’t have thought of , but for Kirsti. And besides that, she is just a delightful person.

I’ve worked with designers before, but Kirsti Wolfe is so superior to what I formerly considered good, that I’ve had to readjust my expectations. Her professional approach is delightful, her conscientious attitude is appreciated and her creativity is jaw-dropping. The fact that she really enjoys a challenge came in handy for our old house and it’s near constant “surprises” and problems. Her decorating prowess created a final home that I never could have imagined. Plus, we had fun! We are so happy. She very carefully meets you where you are and adjusts her recommendations accordingly. I wouldn’t dream of ever working with anyone else and would happily speak with anyone who has any further questions.

I greatly value Kirsti’s dedication to the Interior Design profession. She tackles every project with innovative ideas and excels at finding unique soutions to the most difficult design challenges. Her thorough knowledge of the construction process is a huge asset to the entire design team as well as the construction crew. As an architect, Kirsti is a treemendous asset, from the onset of Conceptual Design, through Design Development and obviously during the entire Construction Process. Honestly, she just makes my job easier. She has such a great ability to communicate with everyone involved and simply put, Kirst is just fun to work with. I always recommend working with Kirsti Wolfe. She is a unique talent within Central Oregon and offers services that are unparalleled within the Interior Design field. Such a pleasure to work with.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kirsti Wolfe and her team since 2009. In that time, she has guided me on the interior design of two homes, one in the Highlands at Broken Top, the other on the coast of San Clemente, CA. She was also my designer for the the Worthy Brewing restaurants in Bend. Thanks to Kirsti’s focus, vision, skillset, and can-do approach to challenging projects, I consider all three of these creations to be enduring works of art.I love her work, and I love working with her. Why? She’s creative without being frou-frou, collaborative wihtout being obsequious, firm wihtout being impatient. You give her an idea of a “sink” and she’ll give you three to four great examples, along with eveything attached. Not only is Kirsti resourceful, she’s also a good teacher. Most of the time I would come to her with a faint notion of a foggy idea with precious few roots in reality. I’d throw out a few words and boom! Kirsti’s showing me several images on her mobiile phone that help fill in the blanks and bring my formless idea to life. After that, she’s very good at making all the parts fit together coherently and elegantly. She’s not simply ordering stuff–she’s an interior architectural designer. She has the tools and experience to design anything, from your kitchen and baths to your steam shower and bedrooms. Frankly, when it comes to integrating numbers, angles, demensions and so on, she’s a wiz. And she has excellent rapport with the vendors who she sources to supply the materials, the contractors who will build it, and the owner is is minding the budget. She has many strengths artistically, but she’s also cognizant of the costs, as well as the deadlines. That’s why I like working with Kirsti: she’ll usually present you with 3 or 4 options, each with different price points, draw out your first impressions,and then help you decide what’s best. She’s not about taking credit. She’s more intested in creating something beautiful under budget that will meet the test of time. I’ve noted that she works well with her contractors and builders, which to me, shows how easy, fair, and fun she is to work with. Yes, there will be artistic disagreements. But this is where she shines. She can disagree without being one bit disagreeable. not one bit. In the end, after she patiently and expertly makes her case, in my experience, often I’ve deferred to her opionions without regrets. In summary, if you’re building a custom home or business in Bend, Oregon, there’s no better designer than Kirsti Wolfe. She has the respect of the best creaftsmen in the county. She’s a natural leader, a gifted designer, a loyal team member, a trustr=worthy budget manager, and one “heckuva” lot of fun to work with. Cheers!

Kirsti’s creativity, taste and, well, flare is pretty obvious. Just look at the work she has done, and in all varieties of style. It’s how she crafted ideas, tastes and notions, into a place we love that truly blew us away. It was the first house we built and for the better part of a year we hit her with a fusillade of questions: What about these? Where do you find those?, Can we find a cheaper that? She researched our every whim and all but eliminated the leg-work for us. She is the Google of the design world and a master of championing your taste. She worked on-site with our builders, redrawing things on the spot, when necessary. They’d never seen anything like it. I don’t know how we would have gotten done all that we did without her. I still have communications updates from her in my inbox that I haven’t yet opened and we’ve been in the house a year. She’s absolute task master. Good thing one of us was.”

Kirsti’s input has been a tremendous help in building our house. She has a great depth of knowledge of all the elements necessary to create a beautiful home. Her attention to detail and willingness to lay out a variety of options has made the difference between a nice living space and a fantastic living space. She is a joy to work with and has added so much to our project. We have been extremely pleased with her timeliness, creative thinking, and attention to making our dream home a reality.”

We recently built without the foresight to have a design budget. I met Kirsti after we were well in over our heads. Immediately she asked us how we wanted to use the space. All my Pinterest and Houzz research had been focused on what style or feel I wanted. I assumed the plans for the house included how a space functioned. Not until we had redone the staircase twice did I realize how much Kirsti could have saved us had we engaged her before it turned out in a way that wouldn’t function for us. In hindsight, had we budgeted for design we would have saved in both time and resources. There is no substitute for good design advice.”
