In Episode 203 of The Pro Series Podcast, I sit down with Christina Richardson — a U.S.-based interior designer with Scandinavian roots and a uniquely powerful design lens shaped by both engineering and artistry.
Born and raised on the northern coast of Sweden, Christina brings a rare balance of mechanical precision and creative warmth to every space she touches. With over 20 years of experience and a background in construction and mechanical engineering, her work reflects a deeply intentional, light-filled aesthetic rooted in the simplicity and functionality of Nordic design.
Now based in the U.S., Christina leads Christina Richardson Interiors — a studio known for its thoughtful residential and commercial work across the U.S. and Europe, including a recent restaurant project that perfectly blends form and function.
We talk about:
The influence of her Scandinavian upbringing on her design process
How engineering shaped her creative vision
Her signature “red thread” technique
And what it really means to listen to your client beyond the surface
Whether you’re a designer, a creative, or someone who just loves beautiful spaces with meaning — this episode will inspire you to look at design through a whole new lens.
