​

Chris Dressler – I started tinkering when I was a boy and was encouraged in my high school years to become a furniture maker. I studied under Lonnie Bird at the University of Rio Grande, making high-end furniture using a mix of traditional and modern woodworking methods. After college, I moved on to work in the custom millwork, cabinetry, and casework industry for commercial and high-end residential homes, as well as tradeshow displays. I eventually returned to school and studied engineering, acquiring design for manufacturing skills. Now in my 40’s I decided to combine my skills and experience and start CK Design Solutions with my wife of 12 years, Kristen.

 

Kristen Dressler – I have 25 years of experience in graphic design, bringing creative flair and details to the team. Chris and I have worked well together over the years, with me providing the creative touches while Chris focused on the technical aspects. Initially, we pursued this as an experiment and over the years it has continued to grow. I manage the day-to-day operations as well as drafting, takeoffs, and communication with clients.
