We Are Leaders.

With almost 10 years of experience, Kristin specializes in the higher education and food service market sectors. Kristin started her career in fast-paced retail rollouts then moved into tenant development and higher education. While working on higher education projects, she found her passion for food service and restaurant design. Kristin is currently the Team Leader for the Compass Group account which includes both Higher Education and K-12 food service all around the country. She excels at managing multiple projects throughout their entire life cycles and has managed more than 75 projects for Compass in Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Idaho and California during her career.

Kristin's favorite part about her work is way food can bring diverse groups of people together. She often says that everyone has to eat and it should be in beautiful spaces. Kristin enjoys the challenge of designing culinary experiences for people and often spends hours researching to better understand the hearts and minds of different user groups. She always strives to stay on top of what is currently trending. Recently she has been inspired by the starring role that sustainability is playing in food culture and how that message can go even further when paired with sustainable, responsible design.

At home Kristin enjoys spending time with her family, frequenting Dallas' robust restaurant scene, reading everything and being an awesome dog-mom to her basset hound.
