Krystal Benko
Associate Project Manager
Krystal grew up surrounded by craftsmanship, with a father who was a skilled contractor and woodworker and a mother who was a kitchen and bath designer. Although it was not her initial plan, she ultimately found herself immersed in both worlds of design and construction.
After earning her BA at San Diego State University, Krystal spent the better part of a decade in the food and beverage industry. Her passion for food, coupled with her keen eye for detail, led her on a career path that started in culinary school and transitioned into high-end interior design. After six years as the sole project manager at one of San Francisco’s edgiest design firms, Krystal found her way into construction project management.
Her eye for beauty, innate listening skills, and ever-willingness to help others have made her an invaluable asset as an owner's representative for the last five years. When she’s not working, you can find her paddle boarding off the coast of the Big Island or cooking up one of her finest meals at her home in Hilo, Hawaii.
