At Slate Design Studio, we believe that every space has a story to tell. Our passion for interior design is rooted in a deep love for transforming ordinary rooms into extraordinary experiences.
Founded by Christopher Tankersley and Kari Kirksey, Slate Design Studio brings together years of expertise and a genuine enthusiasm for creating beautiful, functional, and personalized interiors. Slate Design Studio’s journey into the world of interior design began with a fascination for how color, texture, and form can harmoniously come together to shape a space. This passion has evolved into a commitment to helping clients bring their unique visions to life.
Every space starts as a blank slate.
I am a dedicated interior designer with an Associate of Applied Science in Interior Design and certifications in kitchen and bath design, color theory, and design technology. Currently, I am actively completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design, further enhancing my expertise and creative vision.
With several years of practical experience in the field, I bring a comprehensive approach to each project, blending functionality and aesthetics to create innovative and personalized spaces.
My background and ongoing education equip me with the latest industry trends and techniques, ensuring that every design is both modern and timeless.
I bring many, many years (over 25) of experience in real estate, property management, and project renovations. I have managed multi-million dollar renovation projects and have helped many the buyer and seller in real estate ventures. Managing deadlines, projects, and budgets are my areas of expertise. Another area of expertise is recognizing talent. I recognized CJ’s talent immediately. His creativity and design process always amazes me. We talked and Slate Design Studio was born. I handle the daily operations and he will make your project come to life.
Proven expertise in project planning and scheduling, budget management, vendor coordination, quality assurance, and design implementation.
