CJ Christina J. Garmon
I believe a person’s surroundings directly affect the way they view life. Life is hard, but being a part of a functional, beautiful space aides in overcoming struggles and discovering the best parts of life. My mission is to create spaces that enhance the quality of life by fousing on function, placing a purpose to every square foot, aesthetics that are cohesive with the client’s personality, and well-designed lighting plans that stimulate active and fulfilling lifestyles.

Kate Spade’s Yacht This luxury yacht is a collaborative design full of personality. Inspired by our client, Kate Spade, our team created a space that was elegant, modern, and vivacious. We introduced various patterns and colors to define the individual spaces, giving each its own sense of style and character while blending the overall look to form a cohesive luxurious feel. Focusing on the living and lounge areas, patterned textiles brought in a splash of green and orange against neutral white fabric and a light colored wood floor to combine the flare scene in Kate’s designs with the feel of a relaxing retreat. Vacations aboard this yacht will allow you to unwind and immerse yourself in the calmness of the sea.

Edita’s Cottage Grandma Edita’s residence is inspired by her Lithuanian heritage, life as a doo wop teenager, and her love for cooking for her family. Focused on universal design and aging in place, emphasis is placed on lighting and accessibility. An eclectic color palette derived from precious stones of the Baltic Sea accentuates the functional yet fashionable aesthetic allowing Edita to effectively calculate distances and differentiate areas within her home. A vintage jukebox allows her to reminisce about her childhood while she prepares food for her family in her accessible modern kitchen. Adequate circulation and complete ADA compliance with simple fixtures and appliances enable her to comfortably enjoy her home with low physical effort.

The Woodlands Walking into the Woodlands’ newly renovated master bathroom and closet, you enter through a sliding french door and are welcomed by a white and black marble tile floor. This classic European utopia includes a custom red UK phone booth as a water closet, a French style makeup vanity, and a chaise longue around the corner. An open closet with plush white carpet enhances the chic ambience of the space leading to the bath and walk-in shower area. On a raised floor sits the main feature, the “Audrey” shoe-shaped bathtub imported in from Italy. With a delicate touch of vintage pendant lighting and wall sconces, it is impossible not to be enveloped by the romance of the space.
