About Us
OUR HISTORY
After several years in the furniture industry, Christine saw the need to bridge the gap between A&D firms, end users, sales reps and their support staff. With combined experience as a designer, project manager, and sales representative, she knew her knowledge could help open the door to communication, and educate others how to work better together.
In 2011, she created Blue River Services to bring that vision to market. As Blue River Services grew, the demand for design support increased. As designers joined her growing team, Christine taught them how to “think like a sales rep” to best assist our clients. That mindset has enabled Blue River Services to support manufacturers, dealers, and A&D clients in all project phases. Christine continues to provide education to end users and their vendors regarding the navigation of the furniture design process.
In addition to industry-best design, Blue River Services offers marketing support, procurement advice, bid services and consulting services to our clients. Our mission is to create inspiring work spaces while focusing on accuracy, efficiency and profitability.
