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.
