I get to use both the academic and creative sides of my brain; combining my love of math, project management and design into one.  I took the same amount of art courses as I did science courses in school, even taking a fine arts course at OCAD as an elective when I was at the University of Toronto.  Now I get to combine both of my passions into a single career.

 

Working with people, much like playing on a team, always brings me such joy.  Working closely with both homeowners and my team of skilled tradesmen (and women!), to bring people's renovation dreams to life is something I find very fulfilling and meaningful.  Especially when I get to see the look of happiness on clients faces at the final reveal.

 

I love working with my hands.  Having played sports for many years, being active was always very important to me.  I'm the type of person to write up a game plan, job scope or timeline and then go be heavily involved in the actual execution of the work.  I'm not just the brains behind the operation, I'm a painter, drywall finisher and labourer just the same.

 

Every house is different!  There's nothing 'cookie cutter' about renovations.  No two drywall patches are the same much like every house is framed differently.  As much as you can predict what you'll find behind walls, there's always the possibility of discovering the unknown.

 

Lastly, I'm always up for a challenge.  I welcome clients who have out of the box design ideas or those who are brave enough to "renovate blind" and turn all design related decisions over to me until the final reveal!
