Creating spaces

that connect & inspire

We are shaped

by all that is around us

My love for creating spaces was cultivated with care by my parents.

Every few years they granted me the magical wish of getting to redecorate my bedroom however I wanted. A few rotations of testing out my design sense bringing those dreams to life, I was promoted to chief Creation-eer when my dad built me my very own playhouse. It was in this space that I first discovered my true love for creating spaces. 

Since then, I’ve pursued courses in interior design, colour theory, art history, & spatial planning. Pair that with a decade long career in crafting event spaces & custom designing not one, but two, homes – I’m thrilled to be offering to share this love of mine with the world.

Excited to design

spaces & places

Home Spaces

Home is not a place you go it's a feeling you grow
  • Custom space alterations to help your space suit your needs
  • Decor design & details that integrate the styles & things you love
  • Gallery walls & personal touches that make your space feel like home
  • Colour selection, light analysis, & painting to transform your space
  • Curate sacred spaces in your home that support your daily wellness rituals

Work Places

Good workplace design goes beyond aesthetics
  • Spaces to connect & share over a good ol' cup of coffee
  • Sound design & audio visual that amplify your space
  • Creative & engaging spaces for your customers to interact in
  • Areas that help employees be their best selves
  • Ways to offer personalization for your people

Event Spaces

Creating immersive spaces that connect & cultivate
  • Create an event experience your guests will never forget
  • Design esthetic insta-worthy photo op moments for your guests to share
  • Cater to all the senses through sound, sight, smell, texture, & taste
  • Plan movement flow for smooth & comfortable transitions
  • Source sustainable stylized details that bring the design to life

Spaces & places

already created

Over the years I have had the true joy of desiging a series of spaces & places, both for myself & to share with others. Below I’ve shared a few of my favorite projects along the way in hopes of manifesting more opportunites to design more spaces (& places) like these. . .

Custom House Build

This was a 7 year labour of love. My husband & I custom built & designed this home together ONLY 5 MONTHS AFTER KNOWING EACH OTHER. 

Over the years, we lovingly DIY’d the house of our dreams. 

  • Custom wall treatments including brick veneer in the basement& wood-block wall 
  • Custom woodwork including built-in fireplace mantle, window seating bench, bedroom built-in, & library/plant shelves
  • Custom installed glass garage door in walk-out basement
  • Custom landscaping design & outdoor entertaining enhancements including pergola, firepit, & sunroom space
  • Custom theatre room with in-ceiling audio & surround sound 
  • Complete basement development including plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting, & finishing 

Event Design

Welcome to our “Unwedding” – a celebration of love outside the traditional wedding format. A party planned around the uniqueness of our love & creating memories with those we hold closest. 

After being a wedding planner for over a decade, when it came to planning our own party I had a totally unique vision I wanted to bring to life. Hence the “unwedding” concept was born. Our celebration was a concoction of all of the things (& people) we love, while avoiding all of the obligations of the typical wedding festivities. Since we opted to do a private ceremony/vow exchange & didn’t have a bridal party, this gathering was focused on food, friends, family, dancing, laughing, & love. 

Take a peek at the TOTAL VIBE that this whole event was. 

Custom space planning & kitchen design

Longtime friends of mine approached me to collaborate with their renovation contractor for the design & styling of their renovation. T&D LOVE hosting gatherings – whether that’s bringing their big blended family together or hosting stylish dinner parties for their clients, colleagues, & friends. They wanted to open up their main floor living & kitchen space, while refreshing the whole area with new colours & textures. 

I worked alongside them & their renovation contractor throughout the process to align on all of the material selections. Together, we curated paint, flooring, appliances, fixtures, cabinets, colours,  counter tops, & tile to bring their hosting haven to life. 

Gallery Walls

As a lover of art galleries & a firm believer that walls are meant to have art, I adore curating & designing gallery walls for people. 

These are such a fun way to blend a unique array of personal photos, travel treasures, found frames & curated canvases. I will help source, select, style, & secure an array of wall art to showcase. Let your unique passions shine through with these one-of-a-kind galleries.
