Meet Kirsten

Kirsten Hess is the founder and Principal Designer at HvK Interiors. With over 10 years of industry experience, Kirsten draws on her wealth of design knowledge to craft spaces that are both beautiful AND functional. It’s all about the “artful mix” of old and new, casual and formal, classic and trendy. This design approach serves to create spaces that are layered, dynamic and a genuine reflection of her clients’ personality and lifestyle.

Before founding HvK Interiors in 2019, Kirsten lived and worked in Toronto, honing her design skills at both commercial and residential firms. She holds a B.A. in Communication Studies from McMaster University and a diploma in Interior Design from The Academy of Design.

Kirsten lives in Hamilton with her husband and two young sons. On the weekends, you can find her exploring a beautiful hiking trail, shopping for vintage clothing or singing and dancing on stage with her community theatre group.
