We love our native New England roots.

Our love of New England charm and British design provides a strong influence on our design aesthetic. We aim to incorporate materials that reference our history and impart longevity.  We want our designs to stand up to the test of time which drives our choices toward quality and classicism.

RYAN WIKMAN

Having grown up in Massachusetts, and spending summers in the lakes region of New Hampshire, Ryan has been immersed in varied New England Landscapes from a young age. After various jobs in the farming and landscape industry, Ryan realized his passion for plants and enrolled out of high school at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture.

CHRISTINA WIKMAN
Interior Designer

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Interior Design, Christina Wikman began her career working in custom kitchens. While gaining valuable experience in creating custom kitchens she realized she wanted to be able to offer her clients more than just beautiful cabinetry and opened her own full service residential design firm in 2009. Since then Christina has worked on many projects ranging from brownstones in Boston’s South End to suburban family homes throughout New England.

Our design aesthetic draws from the classics but infuses color and pattern in a way that adds a fresh take on tradition. We believe in a holistic approach to design and first assess the functionality and bones of a structure before considering the decorative finishes.
