MEET OUR
a-team
Alisha Gregg
President/CEO, RID, NCIDQ, IIDA
As the owner of bfd interiors, this is my favorite part of the website! It is this section where I’m able to gush about the A-Team of people who work with us and are assigned the pleasure of working together on incredible projects for every single client. Every person with us has the technical credentials, licenses and education needed that you will see with every design firm you review. But I find it’s a bit more interesting for you to see these wonderful people through my heartfelt stories about them, and that little something that makes them quite unique.
We all have Pinterest pages set up with our interests, our vision boards, our motivational clips and other things so that you can know us on a little bit more of a personal level, so be sure to spend some time there.
Karen Albin
Quoting, Procurement, Logistics Management
“You will be hard pressed to find someone in the industry who works harder, is more pleasant and humble, and quicker on delivery.…”
Karen Albin
I describe Karen as a checks-and-balances person with a designer’s eye. She negotiates strongly with manufacturers and CSRs to keep them on task and make our clients’ projects a priority in their queue. She assists the designers with special finish and fabric concerns to bridge the gap between the designer and the vendor. Karen has a brain for literally hundreds of details at a time and takes care of many issues before anyone knows they were even a problem. This includes expediting shipments with our vendors and working with them to ensure our client is getting exactly what they are expecting, on time. Karen owned her own company in another city before coming to BFD and approaches her role with a level of ownership and service that is personal on behalf of our clients. She knows how important she is to the logistical success of every project.
Karen is personally invested in our clients’ success. Preparation and execution are her superpowers, wrapped in a bundle of care. She is a knitting master by hobby – which seems apropos for the host of details she knits together for us.
Kirsten Ramirez
RID, NCIDQ
“When we need to organize a complex installation, Kirsten saves the day. I secretly think she can leap tall buildings in a single bound...…”
Kirsten Ramirez
I’ve seen her problem solve highly intricate design problems where I would have given up long ago. When we have a systems reconfiguration and all the parts and pieces are strewn about and must be counted, reorganized, redesigned, and filler parts specified to make the system work again for a client, Kirsten is our go-to. When we need to highly organize a complex design installation, Kirsten saves the day. When our IT guy is nowhere to be found, and our computers need a touch or a kick, she waltzes in and waves a magic wand to keep us going. She is definitely our back house problem-engineer for our technology and I secretly think she can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
She recently adopted a dog named Gracie, and yes, there is an Instagram page you can follow…Oh Goodness Gracie

Teri Holman
Design Associate
“We’ve all learned to work remotely, from anywhere. bfd is embracing that work-life growth mindset.”
Teri Holman
Meet Teri. Teri is our first remote designer teammate after exploring the country for talent. She brings a unique skillset of experience to bfd, curating multi-clinic facility projects through design and construction management for a major national radiology chain. Working alongside an inhouse design team for the company, Teri managed design-build projects and orchestrated the interior flow of construction and finish-out. She brings a wealth of expertise melding workflow processes for overall project delivery, from design, construction through finish-out, furnishings and move-in. She managed a national signage rebrand and developed project budgets for the chain’s growth and expansion.
Teri is a perfect fit with bfd and says, “as a natural problem solver, I pride myself on my ability to be thrown into unknown situations and come out with an innovative solution in hand, and a positive attitude throughout the process.” #bfdlovelanguage
Kristie Reinhart
Account Manager
“Her connection with clients, designers, industry partners and all of us is universally FUN!”
Kristie Reinhart
While being a dynamic account manager is her super power, her love for people, problem solving and process makes her a natural in our design world.
Lora Lopez
Business Operations Associate
“Her servant-minded heart and sweet personality only adds icing to the cake, leaving those around her feeling happy and confident the job will be done perfectly.…”
Lora Lopez
Lora puts that same tenacity to her role at bfd interiors, where she serves as an account manager and business operations associate. You can have full faith that she will manage all tasks and expectations for any project with lightning speed and detailed planning and execution. So glad she communicates internally by email/text and not Post-its…
Her servant-minded heart and sweet personality only adds icing to the cake, leaving those around her feeling happy and confident the job will be done perfectly.
Misty Hill
Account Manager
