Welcome to By Design, I'm happy you're here! My name is Karissa Hodnett and I am a Nutritionist born and raised in Texas. Having grown up in Austin, I am now settled in Fort Worth with my husband Matthew and our sweet son, Davy. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Nutrition from Abilene Christian University and have spent much of my professional career working as a Nutritionist in nutrition counseling settings. Some of my pastimes include watching college football, time in the country, 90's country music, pottery, and good coffee. You can find me eating anything with peanut butter, chips and salsa, breakfast anytime, and unsweetened iced tea with lemon. One of my favorite phrases in relation to food and nutrition is, "Moderation is key".

God designed each of us uniquely and I believe we have been given the opportunity to steward our lives well. My prayer is that I can be an encouragement and serve those in their journey to a healthier life. I also hope to create a little bit of beauty along the way to share with others!
