Kristan Cunningham knew from a young age that her passion for the arts would become her career. Hailing from West Virginia, she studied interior design at the University of Charleston, and in 1997 decided to introduce herself to Los Angeles and the city's cutting edge world of design.
Having seen much success in furniture design and with her own projects, Cunningham joined a small, edgy firm, where she could hone her skills. The studio environment gave her the opportunity to explore both the structural and technical end of design, providing her with an even more well-rounded design sensibility. As host and designer on Design on a Dime, Cunningham relishes the opportunity to "get back to the basics." Viewers and clients alike will reap the benefits of her fresh approach to budget-conscious design.
She lives in Pasadena with her fiance, Scott, and Floyd, their Yorkshire terrier. For more information, please visit www.kristancunningham.com.
