A Few Things You Should Know
Before We Start Working Together
Please review in preparation of your design consultation.
About Me
I hold credentials as a Certified Interior Decorator, an International Re-Design Professional, a Certified Living in Place Professional, and Occupied Home Stager.
I work hard to provide you with the best Decor/Design/Staging experience that I can. As an Accredited Member of the Decorators & Designers Association of Canada (DDA), and in order to maintain my accreditation, I am required to earn 5 CEU’s (Continued Education Units) administered by the IDCEC (Interior Design Continuing Education Council) each year. This ensures I’m up to date with current trends and practices in my industry.
