The Heart Behind Hearth

Meet Crystal

FOUNDER & LEAD DESIGNER

My love for Christmas started long before Hearth. Some of my earliest holiday memories are making popcorn garlands and decorating the tree with ornaments from my grandparents' market. As I got older, that love of decorating grew from my own home to the homes of family and friends, and eventually into Hearth.

For me, holiday decorating has always been about more than making a home beautiful. It's about creating that feeling when you walk through the door and the season has arrived - a home that feels warm, special and personal to you, while reflecting your family, traditions and the memories you've created together.

The name Hearth is especially meaningful to me because the hearth really is the heart of our home. Our fireplace is the central place where my family gathers - not only at Christmas, but for holidays, celebrations and everyday moments together. So many of our memories have been made there.

That feeling is what I want to bring into the homes I design. I want each space to feel beautifully considered, but still like home - a place for gathering, celebrating and creating memories that can be cherished for generations.

MY APPROACH

I believe the most beautiful holiday homes aren't the ones that feel perfectly matched or overly styled. They feel layered, personal and collected over time.

I love bringing together new elements with meaningful pieces a family already owns, making sure everything feels naturally and thoughtfully curated. The goal isn't to create a home that looks like everyone else's. It's to create something that feels like you - your home, your family and your traditions.

Every Hearth design begins with the home itself. I look at your home as a whole - its style, your existing pieces, the things that are meaningful to you and, most importantly, how you want it to feel during the season. Every detail is layered with intention so the finished space feels transformed, yet still unmistakably yours.
