Designer (she/her)

Email • LinkedIn

Crystal joined Holst after graduating from the University of Idaho with a Master’s in Architecture. Her values as a designer have been shaped by her experiences, being a first-generation Latina, studying and living abroad in Rome, Italy, and her involvement in opportunities to serve underrepresented individuals. Crystal believes that by creating spaces that provide comfort, health, and dignity, we can foster nurturing environments that serve as catalysts for healing and transformation. As a designer, she is eager to work on human-centered design projects that respond to the needs of communities and individuals.

Outside of work, Crystal enjoys painting with watercolors, traveling, hiking, and spending time with her friends and family.

How do I become an architect? What is the difference between Architecture and Engineering? Can I job shadow an architect for a day? How do architects turn designs into buildings? Can I tour your office with my child? What roles can I perform in architecture? How do I know if architecture is the field for me? Would an architect speak to my class about architecture? What degrees do I need to be an architect?
