About Kristin - "kbf"

Kristin Beth Ferris, known by many as "Kbf", has enjoyed an extraordinary career focused on creating and developing several small businesses and a non profit organization. Her background includes co founding The Ferris Design Group, a woman owned space planning and interior design firm focusing on contract and municipal projects, planning and producing small gatherings for 20 to street festivals for thousands at Riverfront Recapture - an innovative non profit organization on the forefront of Connecticut's Greater Hartford area revitalization, and ultimately founding The Ferris Group CT, her own full-service special events firm. Soon thereafter, Kristin joined forces with her brother Eric to form The Ferris Group.

Currently serving as The Ferris Group's "Chief Creative Officer", Kristin carefully defines a client's vision, creates and develops a meaningful strategy to achieve their goals, assembles and produces all aspects of the associated project, and manages it from inception to post event evaluation. Kristin's creativity, dedication and irrepressible passion for her work coupled with a genuine commitment to her clients earns her the honor of being the other half of the brother/sister team at The Ferris Group.

Kristin was recognized as one of the Hartford Business Journal's "40 Under 40" in 2007 and recently, a Corporate Leader by the MS Society of CT. She is a member of the International Special Events Society, International Festival & Events Association, and a lifetime member of Penn State Alumni Association.  She actively supports area organizations including Interval House, Riverfront Recapture, and YMCA Camp Woodstock.

Kristin enjoys any beach, dancing, a round of golf, Penn State Football, and quality time
with her niece, nephew & godchildren. She is a graduate of Penn State.

Back to About Us



The Hartford Art School, University of Hartford hired The Ferris Group to oversee the production of a Gala and Auction, with the expectation that we would attract 200 people and auction prints and photographs that would raise $50,000. They helped us plan, train student workers and volunteers, and oversee the collection of money and the preparation of artwork for participants to take at the end of the evening. We were thrilled to see that all went well, at every stage and we exceeded the number of people who came, (over 400 participants) and we raised four times our highest expectation (we raised over $200,000). I regard Kristin's excellent work, her experience and resources, and her patience and ability to train people, and her calm under fire, as critical aspects of our success (and her success). From my experience, I would give her the highest consideration as an event planner and facilitator. Plus, she is a joy to work with.
