Our Team

Frederick Perry has been designing from the age of 16, and has always loved food – his mother even wanted him to become a professional chef.  After graduating from Hampton University with a master’s degree in architecture and a Graduate Certificate in Project Management, he married his passion for design and love of food by joining Foodservice Solutions Design Consultants in 2013 as designer and our self-described resident Foodie. In 2017 he advanced to Senior Designer and remained so until the summer of 2021, when in support of his wife Domonique’s career they, their daughter Zuri, and soon-to-be son Trey (born in 2022) moved cross-country to Arizona. He graced FSDC again in the summer of 2023, this time leading the way as the Director of Design. As Director he provides his valuable skills as lead designer and consultant, head guidance of equipment specification, liaison between architects or interior designers and foodservice manufacturer’s representatives, and organizer of FSDC’s development, both as a company as a whole and the professional advancement of individual employees. In his free time, he is known to frequent the newest foodservice establishments and festivals, root for his favorite team on TV (Fly Eagles Fly!), or cook new recipes for his family to enjoy either in the kitchen or outside on the grill in the Arizona sun.

Kayla began with FSDC in 2024 after earning her Master of Architecture degree from Hampton University. Passionate about interior environments, Kayla plays an active role in the company’s interior design services, contributing to the design of both front- and back-of-house environments. She enjoys collaborating with project teams to develop thoughtful solutions that balance aesthetics, functionality, and the unique needs of each project. Her work also includes architectural design, construction documentation, and 3D modeling & rendering, helping transform ideas into functional, visually compelling spaces.

Karalinda Dine gifted FSDC with her 20+ years of experience in the Foodservice and Hospitality Industry in 2022. Having worked both front and back of house, including over a decade in leadership & management, her hands-on expertise rapidly elevated her to our Lead Design Consultant, and Business Development soon after. Her passion, drive, & first-hand industry knowledge continue to make an invaluable impact on our team, and the projects we take on. She maintains multiple foodservice related certificates and attends frequent industry training to best serve our clients, and holds a major focus on FSDC’s growth. Karalinda’s mission for every project is to provide our clients with an efficient, functional, and individualized commercial foodservice design specialized to their concept, operations, and most critically their timeline and budget, and she goes above and beyond to accomplish it at every opportunity. When she isn’t designing kitchens and bars or continuing her professional education, she turns that all-in dedication to her family life, providing for her two boys!

Kat has always held the cooking, eating, and sharing of food in the highest regard; her parents and grandparents pinned memory-making in the kitchen with experimenting, teaching, learning, and savoring, so work at FSDC feels just like home. An ODU graduate with a baccalaureate of arts, Kat spent an approximate decade pouring ink onto paper and sopping it up from any book she can touch, culminating in a keen eye for detail that’s indispensable in combing specifications, plans, and, not to be forgotten, recipes. She has been happily putting it to use with FSDC since 2021, ecstatic to be a part of helping clients professionally live out her most-loved fridge magnet – “love people: cook them tasty food” Outside of work and academia, Kat’s favorite hobbies are reading and, well - having hobbies. She and her husband share their home with a cat, a dog, and her ever-growing, ever-cycling trove of books and craft supplies.
