From big-picture design to boots-on-site management, every project reflects that sweet spot between beauty, purpose, and a solid plan.
Interior Design + Construction Management
The Spaces That Tell the Story
Spotlight Projects
Pump Hill House
Sitting on a beautiful lot with solid bones, this Pump Hill home had plenty of potential … but the layout? Not so much. Think: mirrored coffered ceilings, sunken floor zones, an awkward L-shaped staircase, and a long corridor upstairs that made every bedroom feel miles apart.
Enter Kelly and Dan, who came to us with a wish list that was as thoughtful as it was ambitious: a dramatic glass-lined entry corridor, a show-stopping double-volume living room, a larger kitchen flooded with natural light (and a hidden pantry, of course), plus a highly functional mudroom—complete with a dog shower and locker-style cubbies.
Upstairs, they wanted equal-sized bedrooms, a laundry room, and a grand primary suite with high ceilings, a spa-like ensuite, and a walk-through closet worthy of its own spotlight. Add in a basement entertainment zone, a home gym, and a dedicated Zoom room, and we had ourselves a full-scale transformation.
We reimagined the home from the inside out—bumping the front façade for better curb appeal, reshaping the staircase to open the main floor, and layering in materials that marry warmth, contrast, and quiet luxury.
The result? A home that feels opulent in all the right places, cozy in others, and completely tailored to the way Kelly and Dan live.

Saddle Rock Mountain
When our client purchased over 100 acres in Rock Creek, it was love at first sight—the remote location, the sweeping valley views, the mountain air. All it needed was a place to take it all in.
The cabin’s exterior, a pre-fab home system by Backcountry Hut Company, set the stage for what would become a semi-rustic escape with the quiet luxuries of a high-end retreat. Inside, we transformed the raw shell into a warm, organic haven—layering Shou Sugi Ban walls, natural wood cladding, and tactile materials that ground the space in its surroundings.
A luxurious kitchen, spa-like bathrooms, and intimate dining and living areas bring a touch of refinement to the rugged landscape, while four custom-designed rooms with built-in millwork create a cozy, functional rhythm throughout the home.
The result is a design that blurs the line between backcountry cabin and boutique resort—a place where nature takes center stage, and comfort feels perfectly at home.

NYC Kitchen
A once-cramped NYC kitchen reimagined for modern living and maximum function. This remodel honours the building’s mid-century roots while introducing warm wood tones, clean lines, and thoughtful storage solutions that make every linear foot count. The result? A space that feels open, elevated, and effortlessly timeless.
Curated Spaces
Lakecountry House Remodel
Set on a breathtaking orchard property in Lake Country, this full-home remodel was designed to make the views the star of the show. We opened up the entire top floor, raised ceiling heights, and reconfigured the layout to draw the eye toward the lakefront from every angle. Modern lines, soft wood tones, and thoughtful material detailing bring warmth and texture to an airy, monochromatic palette—proving that luxury can still feel cozy and lived-in.

Weichel Exterior
When the architectural plans fell short of capturing the full exterior vision, the client turned to us to bridge the gap. Using the architect’s base concept and the client’s design intent, we developed a comprehensive exterior drawing and specification package—complete with elevations, material notes, and detailing—so the project could be accurately priced, approved, and built true to its original intent.
Design + Construction Management
Tim Hortons
If you’ve grabbed a double-double anywhere from BC to Alberta, there’s a good chance I’ve had a hand in it.
While with Jones Lang Lasalle, I managed 18 renovations in one whirlwind year—spanning Kelowna, Kamloops, Nanaimo, Victoria, Downtown Vancouver, Surrey, and Langley. Tight timelines, multiple trades, and plenty of caffeine later, every project came together with brand consistency and a whole lot of coordination.
Then came my time with Paig Group, where I oversaw four new-build locations in Calgary, Edmonton, Fairview, and Saskatoon—taking each one from dirt lot to grand opening.
Since launching my own firm, I’ve been fortunate to continue collaborating with franchise owners on renovations and new builds across Western Canada, including:
Calgary (103776), Salmon Arm (101946), Prince Rupert (100726), Wallace St. (102260), Osoyoos (012710), Cold Lake (102880), South Lethbridge (102887), Nanaimo (104278), Kitimat (104833), Sidney (105262), Dollarton Hwy (15320), Edmonton (105600 & 105788), High Level, and Pacific Place Mall (120959).
Each project has strengthened my expertise in coordinating with multiple stakeholders, managing fast-paced construction schedules, and balancing function with design integrity—because even in a roll-out program, the details still matter.
Hospitality
Hospitality projects are where design, experience, and logistics all come together—and honestly, that’s my happy place.
While with Jones Lang Lasalle, I led the new build for Oxygen Yoga in Nanaimo and contributed to the Delta Hotel Whistler lobby and corridor upgrades, elevating both flow and finishes while maintaining each brand’s design integrity.
At White Spot Limited, I designed new White Spot locations in Downtown Vancouver and Park Royal Mall, and spearheaded the brand redesign for Triple O’s—modernizing its look, layout, and guest experience. I also designed and built two new Triple O’s restaurants at Surrey and the Langley Events Centre, taking both projects from concept through construction.
And one of my personal favourites? Bringing the U.S. coffee chain Woods Coffee to Canada, where I designed and built their first Canadian location in Tsawwassen—a perfect blend of coastal warmth and modern hospitality.
Each of these projects deepened my love for creating spaces that invite people in—where function, brand story, and atmosphere align seamlessly from the first sip to the last impression.
