From a young age, I knew interior design was my calling. As a child, I instinctively rearranged furniture, planned layouts, and reimagined how spaces could function and feel—long before I ever knew the term space planning.

Before becoming a registered interior designer, I built a highly successful career in real estate across Ottawa and Toronto. It quickly became clear that I viewed spaces differently than most. Where others saw limitations, I saw opportunity. By identifying potential, reworking layouts, and aligning design decisions with client needs, I helped drive award-winning home sales results.

That experience led me back to design school, where I refined my skills at the International Academy of Design and Technology, learning from some of the industry’s leading instructors.

While completing my studies, I was invited by my former real estate broker to transform a former TD Bank location into a new brokerage office. Shortly after graduating, I founded E.L.P. Designs and Space Planning and secured our first major residential renovation—a luxury waterfront condominium.

Today, E.L.P. Designs and Space Planning is a five-star–rated, full-service residential and commercial Interior Design-Build and Space Planning firm, proudly serving clients throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
