Edith Bukenya – Crested Crane Interiors IIDA

After over a decade of designing residential and commercial interiors, networking and cultivating both professional and personal connections within the design community, and the unprecedented events of 2020, the opportunity to launch an interior design consultation and
sustainable e-commerce design studio presented itself. Hence Crested Crane Interiors was created.
Crested Crane Interiors is focused on creating environments with a strong emphasis on sustainable and ethical design solutions that benefit the client, end users and the local economy. This is achieved by collaborating with local vendors, artist and fabricators, incorporating new, salvaged and reclaimed design elements and providing eco-friendly materials and processes without compromising the
desired design esthetic and spatial experience that ultimately will reflect the client’s identity and personal style.
