Ready to create a space you love?
Hi, I’m Trista-founder of Birch + Dune Design Co. and a firm believer that home should be your family’s favorite place to be.
I am a morning person, cynophile, lover of ALL THE BEVERAGES…… a hot flat white, wine, tequila, and a fountain coke with lime that causes your nose to tingle from the bubbles. I enjoy reading a paperback book while hanging out in my sweats on my back porch, and spending time in the mountains.
My journey started a little differently than you might expect. I grew up, and live in, a rural area with limited opportunities in interior design. This led me to choose a career path that was both practical and accessible in my community. Wanting to make a positive impact on people's lives, I pursued a career in nursing. Though nursing has been a rewarding role for the past 17 years, my passion for design and creating beautiful spaces has always been present.
Growing up I was constantly rearranging my bedroom, upcycling my furniture, and experimenting with new designs. My husband and I designed, and built, our first home in 2015 and have continued creating unique spaces through our renovation company Misfit Industries, LLC. Designing beautiful spaces for other people is where I truly find my sense of fulfillment.
