form, function and purpose
In small spaces, design has to work smarter. I craft interiors that blend form and function, bringing purpose, comfort, and sustainability into every square foot — without sacrificing style. Every detail, from hidden storage to modular furniture, is thoughtfully planned to maximize comfort, flexibility, and aesthetics.
multifunctional spaces
In a small space, every inch matters. I transform single-use areas into versatile environments that can serve multiple functions throughout the day. Think: a small urban apartment with a fully integrated work-from-home zone, or a living room that pulls double-duty as a yoga space.
technology-driven convenience
Smart spaces starts with smart design, and we seamlessly integrate technology for convenience and comfort. From discreet charging stations to app-controlled lighting, to space-saving kitchen tech, our designs support a connected lifestyle, without clutter or compromise.
thoughtful storage solutions
Integrating stylish storage solutions is a priority in the design process, and is key to small-space serenity. We integrate storage solutions that blend seamlessly into your aesthetic, while solving real-world space challenges.
sustainable choices
Incorporating eco-forward processes and vendors in interior design not only reduces environmental impact but also promotes healthier, more sustainable spaces — ensuring design choices support both style and the planet.
no demo re-design
Aiming to minimize the environmental impact of our projects, I adopt a 'no demo redesign' method. In this approach, the existing structure of a space remains untouched, thus eliminating the impact on the environment through demolition and use of unnecessary materials.
local focus
To support the local design community and to source unique, high-quality furnishings for your project, I prioritize Vancouver-based businesses and vendors with a retail storefront.
mobile optimized presentation
Optimizing design presentations for mobile devices allows you to easily view and interact with the design concept on-the-go, and ensures a seamless experience across all devices.
design that moves with you
You’ve invested in a thoughtfully designed space — but life doesn’t stand still — and neither should your design. I offer an exclusive post-project membership service that keeps your interior aligned with your evolving needs, without starting from scratch.
With the design membership, I’ll connect on a quarterly basis to edit your space as your life or needs change. You’ll never have to start from scratch again. No re-design overhaul pressure. Just smart, ongoing support that keeps your space working smarter.
Designed to provide long-term value to your design goals, and intelligent adaptability, you’ll always have a professional eye on the functionality, aesthetics, and balance of your space—without the need for a new design concept every time change happens. With regular check-ins and ongoing design care, I ensure your space continues to support and inspire, whatever direction it takes.
the right amount of green
It’s not about eco-perfection — It’s about making better choices, focusing on small, meaningful eco-conscious decisions at every stage of your project

expanding the visual identity of your business from your digital presence to your place of business
In today’s business landscape, visual consistency is no longer optional — it’s a fundamental standard that signals professionalism and value to your audience, customers and employees. With the omnipresence of social media, there is an expectation of a visually consistent and polished brand experience across every touchpoint — not just your website and social media feeds, but also your place of business — think: employee recharging areas, shared work spaces, client-facing areas and waiting rooms. When your business’s visual identity is consistent, it builds trust, reinforces credibility, and helps your business stand out from competitors.
