About Us

Hello, my name is Christine Smart, and I started business plans for Designing Moves LLC® in the Fall of 2008 as I was looking for a way to use my interior design consulting skills to help seniors downsize.

I have helped family members move, downsize and disperse of their estates.  I  understand the need to have trusted people to help with loved ones when distance complicates moves or estate dispersal. My in-laws lived 10 hours away when I helped to organize their move to the retirement center.

I have lived in the Cedar Rapids/Marion area for over 25 years.  I  received an associate degree from Kirkwood Community College in Interior Design and Business.  I have free-lanced and worked at design oriented furniture stores in Cedar Rapids.

I enjoy volunteering to help other women grow.  Launching Designing Moves LLC® has given me a sense of living my life on purpose and making a difference in other peoples lives.  We are all here for a reason and as I look back over my life many experiences I have encountered since I was a child have prepared me for Designing Moves LLC®!

Hi, I’m K’lissa Garrett.  I have been with Designing Moves LLC® since November of 2009.  I started off working part time doing floor plans but have recently become Designing Moves LLC® first full time employee and now there’s nothing I don’t do!  It’s very rewarding to work so hard and at the end of it have the persons you helped say they don’t know how they could have done it without you.

I have lived in the Cedar Rapids/Marion community most of my life.  I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Northern Iowa in Interior Design.  My varied job experiences have given me the confidence to tackle any project.
