Designer, builder, creator — with a timeless point of view and a grounded understanding of how people truly live.

About Christina

Christina Armbrister’s work is shaped by decades of experience across multiple disciplines: restaurant concept creation, interiors, renovations, and now full-scale custom home building. Her approach is rooted in both creativity and construction knowledge, allowing her to design homes that are not only beautiful, but deeply functional, intentional, and enduring.

Christina’s transition into residential design began long before she officially entered the field. Her early years creating and building restaurants taught her how atmosphere, flow, and thoughtful details shape the way people live and gather. That foundation made her naturally suited for residential interiors, where she refined her eye for proportion, materials, and timeless style.

Renovation work followed, giving her practical expertise in how homes are built — and eventually leading her into bespoke custom home construction through CA Bespoke Builders.

Today, Christina leads a connected ecosystem that blends design, building, lifestyle, and storytelling:

Interior Design • CA Bespoke Builders • eDesign Studio • Wild Poppy Hill • Basil and Birch • The Journal

Through each arm of the brand, she brings the same philosophy — that a home should reflect the people who live in it, support the rhythms of everyday life, and stand the test of time with clarity, function, and elevated style.

Design Philosophy

Christina believes great design begins with understanding how life happens inside a home. She approaches each project with a balanced focus on architectural character, thoughtful flow, inviting materials, and timeless details that age gracefully. Her work blends subtle luxury with practicality — homes meant to be lived in, not just looked at.

A Personal Note

Christina’s work is influenced by her love of home, gathering, gardens, and meaningful connection. Her personal project, Wild Poppy Hill, reflects her vision for intentional living — a retreat built around family, timeless design, and a life lived fully.

Whether you’re building a full custom home, redesigning a single room, or exploring eDesign from afar, Christina brings clarity, experience, and a cohesive point of view to every project.
