What’s your interior design process?

I believe in the first visit being in person, in the space where design work is requested, whenever possible. A good visual of the space that needs design attention is often an offshoot of design and furnishing in other parts of the home, which gives a good indication of how you live, what your colour and fabric choices have been in other areas. If you are requesting a formal or casual look, but the rest of your home is totally different, I would want to know why you wish to have a style that might not fit with the rest of your home.

Which interior design styles can you cater for?

For many years I was director of design for a retailer in Ottawa, followed by 16 years as the senior interior designer at Jordans on West Broadway, where a lot of the projects were more transitional. I personally like contemporary for myself, but am comfortable working in any style, perhaps with the exception of "over the top" type of decor. I really prefer the "more timeless look", than the trendy. I also value buying quality when the budget allows.

What do you love most about your job?

Being creative, and making clients absolutely love the finished product. My main design business is currently fuelled by referrals, from both satisfied clients as well as my trusted real estate agents I work with regularly. Some of the hardest projects are the ones with a tiny budget, where you have to put on your thinking cap, instead of just shelling out $$ to purchase products. If I find value in existing pieces you already own, I will try my best to use them but sometimes do so with so upgrading the finish or upholstery fabric. If it is a kitchen or bath, there is a wide variety of price points, so can offer both budget and high end looks.

What inspired you to start your own business?

My parents built a custom built home when I was just starting high school, and our neighbourhood still had vacant lots that got built on over the years I lived there. I used to visit those construction sites very frequently, marvelling at how a house was built, and all the materials that were built into the house. I started out in a Scandinavian furniture showroom and worked my way up thru sales to management, to director of design, travelling to Europe and NYC to select the furniture our store would sell. It was a great experience.

Why should our clients choose you?

I'm very personable, and listen well to what my clients have to say. I have a long track record of successful projects, very knowledgeable in terms of construction and renovation ( I have purchased, moved in, and renovated over 30 homes over the years). Most of all, I have a good sense of thinking in the third dimension, so it is easy for me to visualize a completed project from drawings. In reality, about 95% of my design clients have been referred by friends, family or neighbours who have been happy with working with me. When it is renovation project, I work well with all the subtrades, and understand site issues that often arise when a situation arises that requires figuring out a solution that will be a good option in lieu of what might have been planned, and am able to go back to my client, with the subtrade on board to offer a viable alternative path that we both feel is workable.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

I can do both. Larger projects need some connection with being onsite, but others can be handled remotely. There is a lot more onus on the client when the project is handled remotely, as live video calls are very necessary to let me see the space, the issues, and the concerns a client has. I have a very discerning eye, so I see workmanship that is not up to my standard better than most clients, given my experience. I also find being on site, that I can offer suggestions as to how to do something, or even how to find a short cut that can cut down on the cost for a client. If I find items in good working order, that might continue to have life in them, I will try to retain them in the finished project.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

I practice hand washing, keep sanitizer in my car, wear a mask, and keep a respectful distance from others.
