Tori Blair Palynchuk

Tori, an interior designer and wedding planner in Vancouver, BC, is focused on creating environments that make her clients feel comfortable and empowered. Creating beautiful spaces that focus on the human experience is what drives Tori.

Tori grew up moving every 3 years, so she not only saw the world and gained an intimate understanding of the cultural and aesthetic nuances of everywhere she lived, but also became an avid listener. She learned at an early age to use her listening skills to adapt to new environments. Her ability to adapt to and embrace new experiences has fed into her professional and academic life.

Tori obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from UBC in 2012, where she majored in Sociology and English Literature. During this degree Tori honed her ability to research, and articulate her ideas.

After working at UBC as an undergraduate recruiter, she decided to take a leap and change careers complete. She then started working towards her Bachelor of Interior Design at BCIT.

Since starting the program Tori has found her 'place and people'. Her passion for design and her previous studies have perfectly blended and her ability to create evidence-based interiors that are both beautiful and functional.

“The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what’s in or what’s out”.
