Residential Interior Design
Designing for your home is a very personal experience. Understanding how you use your space gives me the necessary knowledge to help me create a design with your lifestyle in mind. I will ask you to show me one image of a space that speaks to you, you can use my work as a reference, or find something online. I use that image as a jumping off point for creating the mood for your home. I care about people and give 100% of my attention to making sure your living space is exactly how you dreamed it would be. There is something very satisfying about living in a home that is customized to your exact specifications and lifestyle.

Design and renovations take time. When your house no longer suits your lifestyle, and you are considering a renovation and interior changes. Contacting me early in the process of conception can help bring clarity to the end goal. A good design drawing package can help simplify things getting you through the process more seamlessly and making it possible to get back to life more quickly.
Commercial Interior Design
Designing for your business demands attention to detail. When starting a new commercial project my first step is to meet with you to discuss how your business flows. Sometimes a simple change can make a big difference in how your space works for you! The next step is to discuss the mood/style that suits the image you want to express. We then take all the information gathered and design your project to form a beautifully styled, well laid out interior space that enhances your daily work life.

I always keep your lifestyle in mind to ensure my suggestions will be a good fit.

Interior Designer | B.I.D., N.C.I.D.Q
Interior design is a beautiful expression of art in a tangible way.
I believe everything in your space needs to visually and physically relate. Experiencing your space and clarifying your wishlist before we begin creates a solid foundation for all future decisions. A design must work on paper for it to work in reality, and working through that process together with a professional makes it easier for you to control how your space will look and feel in the end. I collaborate with long standing experienced and trusted contractors to ensure an accurate expression of your interior design.
For me attention to detail means really listening to people and making sure their wishes are heard and met.

I co owned and operated a full-service commercial interior design firm in downtown Winnipeg for 14 years. I got married and pregnant and after doing some soul searching, decided to close that company down to move on to a different phase of life. I started my own business from my home a few years later and since that day, have been focusing on both commercial and residential projects from my home office.
-
I love being creative in my life and my job and am also a huge people person. The combination of these two things I feel has made me successful. I'm proud to say that many of my clients have become friends. Interior Design is not just my job but my hobby as well. I love helping people by creating pleasing and comfortable environments in which they can live and work. I view each project as not just a home or office environment, but a complete lifestyle change.

I think the kitchen is the best place to make an impact in a residential project both aesthetically and functionally. It is the hub of the home after all, and there is something very satisfying about working in a space that flows and looks and feels beautiful.
In a commercial space the reception area is the hub and starting point where the mood is set.
Surrounding yourself with beauty soothes the soul.
