We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Christina Garcia a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Christina, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s jump right into how you came up with the idea?
As all of us know, “ covid” was a troubling and uncertain time that none of us had experienced before. I have always loved the concept of interior design and styling my own events. In 2020 I had a lot of free time and decided it was time to my pursue what I believe to be a talent and a personal dream of mine. That’s how Dream Visions decor and design was born. An Instagram account, followed by loyal friends supporting and eventually growing into a website, has allowed me to style client homes as well as their events. Over the last two years I have slowly grown one step at a time in hopes to eventually transitioning from the corporate world to being 100% my own boss.
Christina, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Christina. I style spaces in client homes or offices that need help to full-fill the vision that not many might have. I start by asking a few simple questions on their likes and dislikes as far as color, patterns, and style. I then create a moodboard which is a visual design of what the space could look like with furniture and decor. I even give them all the information on where to buy items. It brings me joy when I can bring client visions to life. I want my future clients to know that there is no budget big or small to bring a space to life. Dream visions doesn’t only style homes and spaces, it also styles events and event planning.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
My goal and mission is to one day open up my own design studio. I have one designer that I’ve always looked up to as my inspiration and that is Joanna Gaines. Who was on fixer upper, designed the Silos in Waco, Tx and has her own decor line which you may have seen in Target. I know that if I work hard and stay goal driven that the possibilities could be endless.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Definitely social media and word of mouth. Eveything can be found online now! Eveything!! I feel fortunate that all my clients have been based off of platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
