This philosophy transforms each project into a narrative, a story woven from the threads of her clients' lives. "We are able to really capture their style and then be a guide for them," Christine adds. "That collaboration could be done from beginning to end, from the client to the collaboration with the general contractors and the various parties, to make sure that it was done very well." The Transformative Power of Detail One cannot discuss Breathe Design Studio without delving into Christine's meticulous attention to detail—a hallmark that sets her work apart. She recalls a poignant moment that encapsulates this ethos. "We once had a builder who, when he finally came on the final day to photograph, he actually was brought to tears," she recounts, her voice tinged with both pride and humility. "I was really surprised because,
he's usually not an emotional man." In a profession where stoicism often reigns, the builder's reaction was profound. "He said that in the 25 years of him doing this, he had never once imagined that his project could look like that." What elicited such a response? Christine believes it was the uncompromising dedication to perfection. "It's because of how detail-oriented we were," she explains. "Every single painting was placed within the inch of where it belonged. Every coffee table book, every mug, every candle. Every angle is controlled in terms of photography. Things are moved within the inch." This is not mere obsessiveness; it's an artistry that elevates the ordinary to the extraordinary. "That attention to detail just makes all the difference when it comes to marketing materials, when it comes to being able to get a project into a magazine," she notes. Christine is unabashed about this level of commitment. "Some might say it's a little bit excessive—that's what sets you apart," she acknowledges.
