MEET KRIS, DESIGNER AND FOUNDER OF KCA DESIGN.

With over fifteen years of hands on experience in the luxury space of fashion and interior design, Cormier over time, developed her knack for business and sourcing and personalizing luxury accessories. What started as merely a hobby and over time quickly transformed into an idyllic career. Fast forward a few years of putting pen to paper and KCA Design became a reality. “I’ve always had the end goal of running my own business so decided to take the leap.” And leap she did…

Cormier launched her moniker brand in late 2017 and she has been in non-stop high demand ever since. Offering private shopping, illustrations and hand painting services, KCA Design has certainly had everyone buzzing with excitement since day one. Her brand attracts top-tier clientele ranging from fellow designers, celebs, glossy boutiques and other notable names.

A purveyor of all things style, Cormier actually uses the skills crafted from her fashion background to design unique and swoon-worthy illustrations. “I have a bit more of a quirky design style of my own; but have to be flexible in my work to adapt to a client’s needs,” shares Cormier. “I, of course, LOVE when clients give me tons of creative license to do what I think is best for the piece.” Seeking inspiration from trips, films, wallpaper spotted at a restaurant…you name it… this creative tour de force is always on the lookout for something special. And this is evident upon poring through her carefully crafted pieces. Sketching on candles, books, handbags, canvases and clothes, she doesn’t shy away from anything…except stripes. “I have strong feelings about painting stripes…I just don’t want to!” enthuses Cormier.

A LITTLE LIGHTNING ROUND TO KICK THINGS OFF…

A fun fact not many people know about you… Most people assume with what I do, especially since I do so many events with the public that I am very social and outgoing. I am actually extremely introverted and shy; I love painting at my studio and sometimes don’t leave or see anyone for days at a time!

Vice… Buying shoes

Favorite hobbies… I adore Pilates and doing restorative yoga. It is one of the only things that really helps me unwind (which is saying a lot).

Favorite designers… My taste can be a little all over the place, but I am a huge Chanel girl (mostly bags), Libertine, McQueen, The Row and Gucci.

Fashion accessories… Celine sunnies…always… also rings from our KCA collection for almost every finger.

It’s happy hour…what are we toasting with… Champagne (preferably with oysters)
