Kristin Pantone Design Interior designer Kristin Pantone has a rare fusion of artistic sensibility combined with the technical, problem-solving and project management skills needed to bring clients’ visions into the real world. Pantone’s approach to style results in fresh and timeless designs, and her downto earth demeanor redefines clients’ expectations about working with an interior designer. “My style is a little different from what you might typically see in Florida. I’m from New York, and I bring a more northeastern perspective,” Pantone says. “My designs are lighter, brighter and more contemporary, but still leave room for the classics.” Working with Kristin Pantone Design also is a more modern experience for clients. “Because of the technology available through sites like Houzz and Pinterest, people already have a good sense of what they are looking for,” she says. “I give them the guidance needed for everything to work together with a good sense of flow.” That capability stems from 18 years of working as a mechanical engineer and five years of experience in interior design after Pantone earned a degree in residential planning from The Art Institute. Pantone also is devoted to customer service and has flexible methods for working with clients to best meet their needs. That approach has earned her a coveted Houzz Award for Customer Service. “Some people want to go room by room, so I just charge them for my time, which can be very economical. For some big remodels, it can make sense to charge a flat fee,” Pantone says. “In either case, I always pass on my discounts to them, and I never mark up products or contractor services.” Pantone also provides e-design services online for clients who are looking for a quick, inexpensive option and want to do the installation themselves. “If someone thinks working with a designer will be too expensive or that they will feel intimidated, that’s not the case with me. It’s important to me to make people feel comfortable,” she says. “If someone works with me, they will get something that lasts and they will be happy with it for a long time.” CONNECT »»» 941.806.5530 | kristinpantonedesign.com
