About Christina Fratila

Some of Christina’s earliest memories are of the hours she spent in the custom homes her father built in Newport Beach, California. Even at a young age, she developed a deep awareness of how surroundings influence emotions. After college, Christina pursued a career as a flight attendant, traveling to seaside towns and tropical escapes. It was during those jet-setting years that her passion for coastal design truly took root. 

Upon moving to Corpus Christi, Christina and her husband began flipping homes, which quickly grew into a full-time interior design business. Her love for airy, coastal aesthetics and her go-getter spirit transformed what began as a small hobby into a thriving enterprise. Christina believes that a home should always feel like an escape—reflecting comfort, beauty, and tranquility.  

Though she’s retired her wings, Christina still enjoys beach getaways with her husband, Antonio, and their two young children, drawing inspiration from every adventure.
