I love white cabinets in the kitchen. It’s very timeless and will always look fresh and bright.

The thing I love about my job the most is helping create a comfortable, functional and beautiful space for people to live in..

1. Your role and responsibilities at Kenorah, as well as education, credentials and experience.

I am a Junior Interior Designer and I have a Diploma in Interior design at Art Institute of Vancouver and a Bachelors of Interior and Spatial Design at University of Technology Sydney Australia. I also have an IDIBC membership.

Kenorah is my first experience in the field of residential design/build. I assist the design leads, prepare CAD drawings, space planning, selecting finishes, working with project managers on site, taking charge as designer in construction phase for a few projects, gaining knowledge/experience to be a design lead with the opportunity to work in designing the Kenorah office and taking on a few renovation projects.

2. Favorite current design trend

I like a Contemporary look, whether its interior to exterior, as well as spaces that are open to one another. I also like materials that have a clean look like added wood or live edge wood to add features.

3. If you had to make one timeless choice for your home, what would it be?

We were able to renovate and make it happen in our home with changing the living spaces (kitchen, dining and living room) into more a social and open area that were previously closed off into more formal areas). Also, updating the traditional BC box house by removing walls to make living spaces into a great room.

4. What do you love most about your job?

I love working with my colleagues and clients, with many personalities and characters that inspire and create a style to their house. The before and after viewing with a “wow” response is always a highlight and I enjoy going through the process from the beginning to the very end.
