Chris Dressler – I started tinkering when I was a boy and was encouraged in my highschool years to become a furniture maker. I studied under Lonnie Bird at the University of Rio Grande to make 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 and acquired 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 and bring 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 and increase. I manage the day-to-day operations as well as drafting, takeoffs, and communication with clients.
