About Kristina York

I am an entrepreneur, interior designer and workplace alchemist who is equal parts space planning expert and advocate for human-centered environments where people can work smarter and thrive together. Now my expertise and passions have collided into a new podcast [CREATE A PLACE] that launched late last year. Do you have a story to tell about designing or holding space for people to thrive? Message me so that together we can share our stories and create a practical guide for the future of work.
