company kd is an award-winning, full service interior design firm. But we are also a family, with diverse backgrounds and interests. Get to know us.
Kristi Dinner
Blessed with a limitless imagination, an innate eye for beauty and design aesthetic brimming with soul and stylish sophistication, Kristi Dinner’s professional experience as an interior designer of residential and commercial spaces spans more then 25 years.
In 1994, she founded the interior design firm company kd, llc which specializes in luxury residential living spaces. Since then, she and her team have created some of the best-dressed interiors in the country, all marked by their captivating color palettes, timeless allure and vibrant personalities.
An avid global traveler with a passion for exploring other cultures, Dinner is adept at sourcing the best fittings from around the world to make each living space inviting, personal and unique. While her interiors are designed to provoke the spirit, quicken the pulse, and rouse the imagination, she takes great pride in ensuring that they are also functional, comfortable, and accurately reflect her clients experiences, needs and lifestyles.
Dinner has re-imagined the visual landscape on a diverse array of award-winning projects. Under her leadership, company kd has received several industry awards from venerable organizations such as The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), and the Colorado Awards for Remodeling Excellence (CARE).
The firm’s work has also been featured in a variety of national publications such as Home, Women’s Day, and Better Homes and Gardens, as well as regional publications including 5280 and Colorado Homes & Lifestyles.
Prior to launching her Denver-based firm, Dinner honed her skills in Los Angeles working with Tosh Yamashita, an internationally recognized designer who was the creative inspiration behind the interiors of Neiman Marcus and Gump’s of San Francisco. While in Los Angeles, she also spent several years lending her versatile creativity to various film and television projects as a set decorator.
She received her graduate degree from The New York School of Interior Design and is currently an Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers.
She is particularly proud of her Mediterranean bungalow home in Congress Park that her maternal grandparents built in 1928, the year they were engaged. She shares her home with her beloved dog Lulu and spirited cat Matisse.
Kim – Business Manager and Drag Racer
Kim is a Colorado native and CU graduate. When she’s not crunching numbers in our office, you may spot her in her “beautiful orange with subtle gold-fleck” modified ‘63 Nova.
Sherri – Project Manager
With a childhood ambition to make clouds, Sherri has always relished a good challenge, devoting the early part of her life to helping others through social work. A natural multi-tasker with amazing attention to detail, she enjoys putting the business skills to work that she learned while running non-profits to ensure our projects and processes are always on time and on track.
CC – Senior Designer
Formerly known as Cheri and hailing from Kansas, CC was born to be an interior designer. As early as age nine, she could be spotted drawing houses and furniture plans on every scrap of paper she could find. Widely admired for her “finishing touch”, she takes great pride in helping us select the perfect fabrics, fixtures and finishes for each project in our portfolio.
Sarah – Design Associate
Inspired by a childhood rooted in travel and a passion for art, architecture and photography entrenched in her genes, Sarah is always on the lookout for fresh and new ideas to bring to the design table. Although she dreams of eventually laying eyes on all the world’s wonders, she still finds wonder everyday in helping us bring our design projects off paper into life.
Heather – Bookkeeper
A laughter-loving Aurora native and veteran violinist, Heather is a true connoisseur of collaboration who finds inspiration in the diversity of our collective strengths and joy in our team-orientated approach. While she is known for her out-of-this-world organizational skills and meticulous planning abilities, we also admire her for her positive attitude and propensity to see the best in people.
