About Kristina.

I'm Kristina, founder of The Renovation Academy and KLB Homes, a residential architectural design practice. Through my work, I've helped homeowners rethink their spaces, plan extensions, remodel existing properties and make better use of the homes they already have.
One thing I've learnt is that renovating can feel overwhelming, particularly when you're doing it for the first time. There are so many decisions to make, from understanding what's possible and setting a realistic budget to finding the right professionals and knowing what questions to ask.
Often, people don't know where to begin, and that's why I created The Renovation Academy. I wanted to take the knowledge and practical experience I've gained working on residential projects and make it accessible to homeowners who want to feel more informed and confident before starting their own renovation.
How to Renovate with Confidence is designed to help you understand the process, avoid common mistakes and approach your project with a clearer plan, because a successful renovation isn't just about creating a beautiful home, it's about making thoughtful decisions along the way.
