KHD was founded more than a decade ago by Krista Hermanson. The granddaughter of Icelandic immigrants, Krista was inspired by her Scandinavian roots to found an interior design firm that approached the design process differently. Instead of focusing on how a space looked, Krista wanted to create spaces that helped people feel. She was deeply connected to the concept of Hygge and had felt firsthand the power of space to help people connect and restore to their deeper selves.
