For Olivia Russell, founder of Russell Crafted, cabinetry and stonework are far more than functional, they’re foundational to how a home lives and breathes. What began as a passion project rooted in design and craftsmanship has evolved into a full-service design and installation firm dedicated to creating beautiful, personalized spaces that reflect each client’s unique story.
“At its core, Russell Crafted is about helping clients discover what works best in their homes,” Olivia shares. That means balancing visual impact with practicality, integrating hidden storage into kitchen islands, designing cabinetry that’s both eye-catching and highly usable, and using every detail with purpose and intention.
Her process is refreshingly personal. “We start by listening,” she says. Clients often don’t arrive with a clear vision, but through thoughtful conversation, hands-on samples, 3D renderings, and curated inspiration, they’re empowered to make confident design decisions. “It’s not about pressure, it’s about clarity. Custom work should reflect your routines and values.”
Design inspiration comes from all around: nature, architecture, fashion, travel, even the rhythms of a busy household. Olivia blends timeless materials with modern touches to create spaces that feel current yet enduring. “Wood cabinetry adds warmth and character, and natural stone offers tactile beauty that’s never duplicated. These materials tell a story.”
Her favorite projects often involve creative problem-solving. One recent example: a minimalist kitchen that required major storage in a small footprint. “We used interior pull-outs, clever cabinetry, and a streamlined design to deliver on both form and function—without sacrificing style.”
Ultimately, Russell Crafted isn’t just about building beautiful kitchens or baths, it’s about building meaningful experiences. “Style isn’t about trends,” Olivia says. “It’s about quiet confidence. It’s knowing your home reflects who you are.”
With every project, she and her team help clients create spaces they can live in beautifully, every single day.
