Hi, I’m Kristie.

I’m the person you call when a decision needs to be made and you want an honest, spot-on suggestion. The one who genuinely enjoys the details most people avoid: the research rabbit holes and the countless small choices that turn something good into something unforgettable.

I bring a clear point of view and the confidence to stand behind it.

Over the years, I’ve found the under-the-radar hotel, planned trips people talk about long after they return, tracked down gifts that make someone feel truly seen, and transformed spaces into homes that feel both personal and elevated.

My husband will tell you, finding the perfect gift for someone who notices everything is no small task. He’s just glad I finally made this official.

Needle in Hay was created for people who don’t want to settle, but don’t have the time or desire to search endlessly. I bring taste, care, and a discerning eye to every detail, so what you choose doesn’t just look right or feel right. It is right.
