The home should be the treasure chest of living

— Le Corbusier

Life evolves and your spaces should evolve with you. Space to grow, space to renew and space to delight in your everyday environment.  

Not everything has to be new or custom but thoughtful considerations are core to design that works seamlessly. I collaborate with clients to discover the very fine balance of function, style and timelessness. 

With my experience on everything from new builds to interior refreshes, I can help guide and execute the many decisions required when undergoing any size project. Together we can create a bespoke plan that is tailored to you and that is overall, functional and classically beautiful.

Building Trust, One Project at a Time

  • “Our addition took a lot of elbow grease especially because it was important to us to bring in vintage so everything didn’t feel new-new. Vanessa really “got it”, so much so that we collaborated effortlessly and no word of a lie, we were finishing each other’s sentences by the end of the project. Vanessa already has a vast library of experience so she was able to steer us straight to the right moulding or the right colour or the right door - all giant time and stress savers. She was so good at translating the technical terms and questions that tradespeople regularly threw out - breaking it all down for us in a way that made sense so we could make informed decisions. We’d work with Vanessa again without hesitation.”

  • "Having resided in the same house since 1985 and raising a family, we certainly experienced some wear and tear and decided it was time to renovate. We worked with Vanessa to revisit the layout and address our family's evolving needs. This included leveling floors, widening room entrances, and implementing barrier-free showers—improvements that will allow us to enjoy our home for many more years to come. Vanessa is an attentive listener who truly valued our input and seamlessly incorporated our ideas. She took the time to get to know us as a family and worked diligently to design a home that reflects our values and vision, significantly enhancing both its functionality and our enjoyment of the space. In addition to guiding us through structural changes, Vanessa helped us successfully select furniture, lighting, finishes, window treatments, and accessories—ensuring that every detail complemented the overall design and felt like us. She also established an excellent working relationship with our contractor and all the trades involved, making the experience far less stressful. Vanessa remained instrumental throughout construction, which provided great comfort during the rapid progression of the project. Her strong organizational skills kept everything on track and ensured we stayed on schedule. We absolutely love our “Brand Used Home"."
