Meet Kristi Oliver of House of Kristionne™

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristi Oliver.

Hi Kristi, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I believe God leaves imprints of our purpose hidden within the depths of our DNA. And part of our journey on earth is uncovering that purpose. Thus, I have always carried a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Even as a child, I always knew I would be an entrepreneur.

However, as life would have it, my love for research and medicine led me on a different path. After a 15-year career in health care, I grew weary and yearned for more. I knew that I had more to give the world. I felt a constant, yet gentle, tug from God that it was time to go, but I was scared. Each day I was determined to stay in a position that was no longer my calling felt like a small portion of my soul died. I was miserable!

A sudden and unexpected displacement from my long-term position caused a shift in my thinking and life path. It opened my mind to the possibilities of working outside of research. I was confident that I could support my family with my God-given creative talents and strategic skills for the first time while finding my niche in the digital world as a brand strategist.

I taught myself how to use graphic design programs and learned to be very efficient in building websites on the self-hosted WordPress platform. I started with a few clients and grew steadily over the years through repeat customers and word-of-mouth advertising. As an introvert, working behind the scenes was perfect.

As a brand strategist, I have spent many years researching, consuming, and sharing as much information on branding as possible. But I discovered that God is THE ULTIMATE master strategist, and His brand remains unmatched. As I prayed for guidance related to my clients, God would reveal to me exactly what their brand assets and strategic plan should be.

Overall, I have helped launch successful corporate identities and brands for clients throughout the United States and internationally.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Absolutely not. I have started and failed many business ventures over the years. Often these ventures have been quite costly for my family in terms of time, finances, and other opportunities. Most of my struggles were with (if I can be honest) impostor syndrome. I questioned why anyone would listen to me. I felt like I would never figure out how to groom my services for self-sustainability. When I got scared, I would try to return to what I was familiar with and secure employment where I was most comfortable.

One day, filled with frustration and overwhelmed with stress, I was crying and praying. I asked God what I was doing wrong? That is when I audibly heard God’s voice say to me, “You are NEVER all the way in! You ALWAYS have to have a Kristi backup plan.” Later that day, I told my husband what happened, and he looked at me and told me to go for it. I have been “all the way in” every since.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
The House of Kristionne™ was birthed through many trials, errors, and mistakes but most importantly, trust in God’s purpose for my life. We are proud to operate in the spirit of excellence and place a high value on the reproducibility and the scalability of our services as a measure of success.

As a company, our goal is to help strengthen your brand’s identity and position your products and services to cultivate a memorable and lasting brand experience. Every opportunity your customer has to engage with your brand has the power to generate thoughts, feelings, emotions, personal identification, and even spiritual connections.

Through our SIMPleFramework™, our services are designed to aid you in developing your brand’s Strategy, Identity, Messaging & Purpose.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
That is simple, my family and doing God’s work! On a higher level, helping bring to life the businesses, ministries, and entrepreneurial pursuit of the gifts God gives others to make the impact He designed them to create in the Kingdom.

Why? Our rewards for being obedient as promised in Deuteronomy 28 and because I love being the vessel God uses as the first drop in a ripple of impasse in expanding His territory from the heavenly realm to the earthly realm in the marketplace!
