Kristen nicole bullard

Principal Designer and Owner KNB Design Co.

Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, Kristen comes from a family deeply rooted in construction, development, and design, which has greatly influenced her career path. With over a decade of experience in the design and architecture industry, she has cultivated a keen eye and a sophisticated approach that seamlessly bridges technical expertise with elevated aesthetics.

After many years of working across interior design and collaborating on architectural projects, Kristen discovered her true passion for outdoor living design. Recognizing a significant gap in Tampa Bay for truly elevated exterior spaces, she began focusing her talents on creating backyards that feel like private, luxurious resorts. Drawing from her extensive background, she brings a singular ability to harmonize structure, materials, and atmosphere into outdoor environments that are as functional as they are elegant.

Kristen’s design philosophy centers on warm minimalism, where natural materials, neutral color palettes, and a rich layering of textures play a vital role. Her work is also deeply informed by her love of travel. Inspired by the design details and resort styles she encountered across France, Greece, Morocco, and Mexico, she brings a global perspective to each project, flawlessly blending sophistication with a relaxed and inviting spirit.

Her vision for every client remains consistent and clear: to create an outdoor space that serves as a true escape, where everyday living merges effortlessly with resort-level luxury and comfort.
