Catherine's love for art, architecture, and design bloomed early, nurtured by the beauty of nature, antiques, and the rich Southern charm that surrounded her childhood. Visionary teachers and art classes fueled her passion, leading her to pursue an Art Education path at VCU. Fate, however, had other plans. An encounter with the world of interior design ignited a creative spark within Catherine, and for eight years, she embarked on design adventures. Red wine, Stella's pasta, and a relentless thirst for knowledge fueled her late nights. Professors, architects, and design studios became her mentors, their guidance deepening her passion for this artistic world.

​

In 1996, with a baby bump and a heart brimming with dreams, Catherine launched Alex Foster Interiors. Collaborations with Glave & Holmes and Williamsburg Design Studio further enriched her experience, allowing her to hone her craft and contribute to stunning projects. 2020 saw the blossoming of Catherine Christian Interiors, a reflection of her dedication to creating beautiful spaces and fostering lasting connections with clients. These very connections led Catherine to the world of Real Estate, where she stages and sells homes, seamlessly blending two passions into one fulfilling business.

 

But design is just one thread in the tapestry of Catherine's life. As a devoted mother to two boys, she also cherishes the flexibility that real estate offers. Finding balance between work, family, and fun can be a juggling act, but this career path has allowed Catherine to achieve it all.
