Evolving Home Design
About Me
For over 20 years, I’ve been helping homeowners transform their spaces, from designing custom renovations and detailed millwork to planning interiors that make everyday life easier. I’ve worked on projects across Greater Victoria and beyond, but I’ve also been in your shoes, renovating my own home here in Colwood, BC.
That personal experience taught me that home design isn’t just about creating beautiful rooms, it’s about solving real, everyday challenges. I understand the stress of juggling a wish list of projects, managing budgets, and trying to make thoughtful, lasting decisions in a world full of quick fixes.
My Design Philosophy
I’ve lived the same story as so many homeowners in Victoria, where the unpredictable housing market has made it harder to move and has left many of us in houses that don’t quite fit anymore. I know what it’s like to look around your home and imagine all the ways it could work better, and to feel the frustration of not knowing where to start, or how to make it happen within a realistic budget.
Maybe your home once felt perfect, but now you’ve outgrown it. You stay because moving isn’t practical, and the list of changes you’d love to make grows longer each year. But life happens. Renovations cost more than expected. Budgets only stretch so far. It’s hard to know where to invest in quality when everything feels like it needs attention at once.
Then there’s the pressure — endless design trends on social media, friends updating their homes, shelves stacked with cheap products that promise quick fixes but end up as landfill in a few years. You want a home that works now and will last, without wasting time, money, or materials. But without a plan, it’s easy to end up reacting to problems instead of shaping your home with intention.
Intentional Interior Planning is a design approach that takes the overwhelm out of home improvement. This clear, phased outlook for your home will help you make changes in the right order, at the right time, for the right reasons. I’ll help you see where quality is worth the investment, where you can reuse and repurpose, and how to design spaces that adapt to every stage of your life, no matter where life takes you.
The result is a home that grows with you — beautiful, functional, and built to last — whether you’re raising a family, preparing for retirement, or simply making your space feel like it finally fits.
