As a construction company in the Bay Area, we are working with many designers and architects but working with Christine and the team from Form+Field is so much easier and her work is beautiful. Her design, floorplan, and lay out is very accurate and the final result is precise. She always answers all of our questions, she is responsive throughout the day, and she is always supportive with a smile. I highly recommend all my customers to work with her.

We absolutely loved working with Christine! We had many aspirational ideas going into our remodel, and she took the thoughts and emotions underneath those ideas and turned them into beautiful designs that were just perfect for us. The process felt so warm and collaborative. We started with concepts inspired by our ideas, gradually narrowed into the specific elements, and 3D models helped us visualize the result. She kept a close eye on costs and helped us make sure we focused the budget on what mattered most to us. She was always transparent, very professional, and exceptionally organized.
It was a dauntingly major kitchen and master suite remodel affecting almost the entire house. She found a wonderful contractor for us, and her team's project management took much of the stress off our shoulders. It was a long project, but thanks to her, almost seemed too easy in the end. The finished product is a dream. We love living in the spaces she created for us. We cannot say enough nice things. We highly recommend Form + Field and hope we get to work with Christine again!

Form + Field was tasked with helping us make our main, open living space into a home, reflecting our family's personality. We had already been living in our remodeled Eichler for three years and needed some help with space planning, furniture selection, ideas for artwork, textiles and plants! Christine did a wonderful job in getting us there. She is perceptive, a good listener and communicator. She came up with ideas that were creative, ones we wouldn't have of ourselves. She is very professional and organized. Christine and Laura were a pleasure to work with. We love our new space!

Christine was awesome to work with. She listened well to our needs and style, and we loved not only the end result, but also the process which was really organized. Special consideration was taken in how to optimize our space for storage and entertaining. I love our new space and the design. A place that i can say is my style with taste

She payed very close attention to detail in all aspects of the project, specifically in her complete and precise set of plans. Additionally, she was a very good communicator who was concise and always answered to questions/comments in a very timely fashion. Lastly, Christine has an outstanding sense of design and style. Her creative abilities were shown throughout the home creating a unique and livable residential space. Overall, it was a pleasure to work with Christine Lin and I would highly recommend Form + Field.

We worked with Christine on our kitchen remodel and home update (new wood floors and lighting throughout). As a graphic designer I am very particular about aesthetics and a bit of a control freak, but I was able to fully put my trust in Christine. She has a strong design point-of-view and just "gets it" when it came to what I was looking for. Both the process of design and construction went really smoothly thanks to Christine's ability to balance but the creative and tactical sides of a project. Though out the project Christine was always prompt, clear, and on-task.
I couldn't have been happier with the results and plan to work with her again in the future.

Christine brought fresh thinking that resulted in some really nice design upgrades to our apartment. We engaged her to help us refresh our master bedroom (color selection, new furniture, light fixtures) and select new lighting for our kitchen. I'm really pleased with the results, and ended up with elements I wouldn't naturally have picked on my own - but I love! She's a lovely person, too. :)

I am a painting contractor in the San Francisco Bay Area and after working with Christine I am directing all my clients that need an interior designer in her direction. After 35 years as a painter I can tell the difference by the way she manages her projects. She is a true professional in every aspect of her work. I look forward to working with Christine on future projects.

I had a great experience working with Form + Field. I love the end result, especially how my apartment feels like my own personality, not a cookie cutter Pinterest board. Christine was able to blend the unique characteristics of the house (an 1880 Victorian) with my organic modern style and incorporate unique elements such as Japanese light fixtures that seamlessly worked with both. She was transparent and clear in the process, providing a budget, bi-weekly design reviews and project updates. There were times where I didn’t like any of the options provided, and she was super patient and willing to source alternatives by listening to my feedback to get to something I loved. She was able to nudge me in the right direction when I was stuck (like to go with a hint of color rather than plain white walls). The 3D renderings were also super helpful in visualizing the end result. I’d highly recommend working with Form + Field whether you’re doing a gut renovation like mine or just need to revamp a single room.

I had the pleasure of working with Christine on a wonderful project this summer. From start to finish, the experience was so positive. As a designer, Christine is a natural in my opinion —- clever, certainly creative, and sooo organized. We’re talking mad “attention to detail” skills, everybody! She and her design were a tremendous guiding force throughout the project. In the end, the clients were thrilled with everything. Not a surprise! Such a pleasure
