Meet Krystle
I founded DU DESIGN to help people elevate and enrich the quality of their daily lives by sharing the power of interior design
Krystle holds a B.S. in Business Management & an A.A. in Interior Design from FIDM Los Angeles, and is NCIDQ certified.
As the visionary interior design veteran behind DU DESIGN, Krystle Duree is an NCIDQ certified interior designer who is passionate about and dedicated to her belief that interior design has the power to transform lives. With her acute eye and passion for attention to detail, she loves to combine elegance and timelessness with bold, refined design ideas and aesthetics. Krystle helps her clients navigate the in’s and out’s of the design and construction journey, leading with her casual and relaxed yet holistic, detailed, and dedicated approach.
“I love versatility and being free from the limits of repetition. There is no limit to imagination, no aesthetic possibility that can’t be explored”
Intuitively an interior designer since an early age, Krystle has always strongly ‘felt’ her environments; and would continuously re-design her childhood home and teenage bedrooms so that her environments would support her and her families current lifestyles. This innate passion for design eventually led Krystle to pursue a formal education and career in interior design, where she could extend her natural talent for creating harmonious spaces to clients, helping them transform their own environments into reflections of their personalities and aspirations.
“I love the challenges of design - no two projects or spaces are alike. Interior design is the creation of functional art from the inside out”
Before establishing DU DESIGN, Krystle honed her expertise and skill over 20 years, collaborating with Architecture and Interior Design firms and clients across the nation. In these roles, she not only led the design and execution of her numerous Healthcare, Hospitality, Corporate Interiors, and residential projects, but also infused each with her unique design philosophy and approach.
Highlighted below are select clients that exemplify the breadth of her expertise and her visionary approach to design. For a comprehensive overview of her professional journey, please refer to her detailed resume here. Works complete by DU DESIGN can be seen here.
