INTERIOR DESIGNER

How do I approach Interior Design ?

It’s about designing spaces for others of meaning and story. Where functionality and an eye for a more edited space can be practiced or curated in a way that introduces thoughtful layers and finishes. It all depends on you, the client, your story. It can be, more often than not, be a process of thinking outside the box, bringing curiosity and play together!

The collaborative part of the design process ?

That can have an element of surprise! It is exciting as we move thru this process to find those ‘aha’ moments, and always rewarding. All the while customizing and drawing on my experience, your needs, and how you want the space to feel and function.

What are those design elements for you?

Would your design story have a priority list around functionality, an edited space, lots of natural light, interiors that show up in a way that gives us quality + longevity with finish choices, having space for the elements of your collectibles, a lean to contemporary finishes and fixtures or a lean for more traditional, &/or do you have a need for calm spaces & gentle colour tones or lots of colour?

What’s your lean?

  • Led a design team to China to work on several projects for a prestigious furniture manufacturer

Review overall scope of work + budget + timelines (inside and outside)

For the most part, I have used items that clients own. I then play, re-organize at times, and tend to do a lot of editing!

I also manage and of any trades to do painting or heavy duty work in yard, as necessary.

Any items that are edited get placed in boxes etc. If any staging items are purchased, they would hopefully be items that

clients could use moving forward.

My approach can work very well and can also be a nice win win in regards to the end result vs full on staging which is very

expensive and inconvenient at times.


I look forward to having a conversation about how we can invite the things you love, appreciate the things that give you joy, and design your home into a space that gives all of this as it becomes a new space that tells a new story and where great storytelling takes place!
