For me, living well isn’t just a mantra. It’s a mission.

I’ve been passionate about architecture as a healing environment since my senior design thesis at University: a healthcare project/wellness centre.

Two decades later, health and wellness are at the core of my design process. Certified in both WELL and LEED building standards, I’m driven to create spaces that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being, whether for workplaces, healthcare, retail, hospitality, or residential projects.

With my Prairie roots I’ve always been drawn to nature, and it continues to influence my aesthetic. My design philosophy celebrates the authentic, genuine, and real. There’s beauty in imperfection, using honest materials that are both timeless and contemporary. 

Global travel also inspires my interiors. Drawing on diverse cultures and traditions, I bring colour, texture, and craft to clients’ spaces using handmade, natural, and one-of-a-kind elements. 

A graduate of the University of Manitoba’s Bachelor of Interior Design program (Faculty of Architecture), I have recently completed my Master of Business Administration at Simon Fraser University. 

Before starting my business in 2006, I worked on many large-scale projects for prominent Architecture and Interior Design firms. Since then I’ve produced award-winning work in a highly-competitive industry. But what truly motivates me is transforming spaces, and by extension, those who dwell in them.
