Let me start by saying, I LOVE what I do!

For over 30 years, I've been applying my creativity, keen sense of design, and attention to detail into creating timeless, highly personalized interiors that seamlessly balance beauty, functionality, and the unique lifestyles of my clients, through my design firm, Distinctive Designs.

I've been a guest speaker at Home Shows, industry organizations, and colleges. I've been hired to style interiors for media campaigns, staged homes for realtors, and worked on sets across television, film, and theatre.

I've been honoured with several Ottawa Housing and Design Awards and was recognized as one of Ottawa's Forty Under 40 recipients for my leadership, innovation, and contributions to the design industry.

I've also been featured as a designer on HGTV's award-winning show Design U, contributing to the series over its four-season run in Canada before its international expansion to the United States, France, Italy, Finland, Poland, South Africa, Kuwait, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.

But what I love most is helping YOU with your design and decor dilemmas!

At the heart of my work is a belief that great design should feel personal, inspiring, and life-giving.

Every project is an opportunity to create interior and exterior spaces that reflect you, your lifestyle, and enhance your daily living.

I am truly honoured to be of service, as my clients' trusted advisor, whether it's designing a luxury custom home, reimagining a kitchen for a busy family, transforming a dark basement into a light-filled fun space, turning a ho-hum bathroom into a spa retreat, coordinating a complete furnishings refresh, or simply selecting the perfect paint colours! Whatever the project, my goal is the same: I design your best interior… so you can design your best life!
