CHRISTINE FITZSIMMONS
Christine Fitzsimmons is an Interior Design Associate in the office of Michael J. Harlock A.I.A. Her goal is to create a warm, well-designed interior space that doesn't shout "interior designer", but quietly suggests the input of a professional. Her imprint is impressive, however friends and family will compliment you, the Client, on your exquisite taste, not hers.
Christine listens intently to Clients to establish a program scope and reasonable budget; then evaluates existing materials, determines (with Client input) the important elements, and creates an interior design that is tasteful and comfortable.
Christine is a graduate of San Francisco State University and the Fashion Institute of Technology and has studied Interior Design at California College of the Arts and the College of Marin. Her resume includes 25 years in visual design and merchandising for major Bay Area retailers and 10 years in residential interior design.
