I have had an interest in creating environments for as long as I can remember. As a child I would fabricate all sorts of settings from refrigerator boxes (complete with contact paper wallcovering). I loved inventing these scenarios and immersing myself in the joy that these imaginary surroundings provided. This fascination would eventually lead me to pursue a Fine Arts degree, where I was introduced to the wonderful world of installation art. This experience eventually brought me back to school to obtain a second degree in Interior Design. After gaining over 15 years’ experience of hands-on design and project management skills in a wide variety of design projects (corporate, hospitality, retail, multi-family, residential), I was inspired to create ACB Design Consulting in 2017. My mission is to work with clients who are seeking a personalized environment for their business or home to create functional yet creative spaces which embrace the essence of the occupants. I strive to get to know my clients and their needs, what motivates them and what drives their business, so that I can infuse these elements into the design. I truly believe that when you put people first in the design process, the result will be an immersive space which can spark creativity, evoke emotions and increase productivity. My priority is always to create happy, healthy and functional environments that make efficient use of space while staying mindful of your time, budget, and needs. I am a huge proponent of health and wellness in all our interior environments, incorporating LEED and WELL building standards whenever possible. As a designer, I feel it is my professional responsibility to utilize my knowledge to create spaces which are not only aesthetically pleasing but that also support and inspire the occupants to live a healthier lifestyle. My specialties include corporate office/ tenant improvement projects, hospitality spaces, fitness studios and alternative health and wellness facilities.
