Design Made Simple
Chrissi Millner
Chrissi remembers being the only eight year old she knew that loved reading her grandmother’s Better Homes and Gardens magazines. At ten years old she would spend summer afternoons drawing scaled floor plans on graph paper while playing architecture with her younger brother. Interior Design has always been a passion of hers. However, being from a small town in West Virginia, Interior Design was not a practical career choice, so Chrissi got a degree in Psychology and worked in the mental health field for over ten years before returning to school for her degree in Interior Design in 2011.
Chrissi is an active IDS member, was on the board and wrote their monthly newsletter for a couple years. In her time as a designer, Chrissi worked for a residential designer for two years and completed design projects in Charlotte as well as New York and Maryland. She has also worked for almost 5 years for a high-end design and remodeling firm specializing in kitchen and bath design.
Chrissi finds that her Psychology degree and experiences from her former career enhance her abilities to truly connect, listen, and understand customers' design dilemmas in a more personal and caring way. She has discovered the psychology of design facilitates her ability to create a fresh, simple plan for the space that will work for the family’s personal style and needs.
Margaret Robinson
Margaret is a native to the Charlotte area. Early on in life she was raised by parents who were motivated by new experiences. This provided the opportunity to reside in an array of communities, exposing her to different cultures, lifestyles and social status’. Those experiences of being raised in one of the nation’s largest melting pots laid the foundation for her passion in people, design and project management. It also sparked her keen ability to truly be unbiased in her vision when designing a personal or commercial space.
Graduating from one of Charlotte’s oldest business colleges, Kings College, she has spent most of her adult career working in construction as a project manager. Over the past several years Margaret solidified a passion to oversee her own remodeling firm. For the last 3 years Margaret has served as one of twelve kitchen and bath designers with a well-known and highly respected remodeling firm for the Metro and surrounding areas.
Today, Margaret enjoys pairing her passion for design along with experience in the industry to fulfill her desire to create, manage, build, and inspire with her clients and colleagues. Margaret takes a personal interest in getting to know her clients on a deeper level to better understand their taste and style. She strives to deliver a fresh and unique look to any room in your home while being considerate to one’s personal taste.
