Hi there! I'm Melanie—a Canadian at heart with a European spirit and a 20-year love affair with all things design. I’ve spent two decades bringing spaces to life through managing, designing, directing, coaching and styling both homes and commercial environments.

For me, design isn’t about perfection or following trends; it’s about creating environments where people feel truly at home, inspired and understood. Thoughtful design has the power to transform how we experience our everyday surroundings. Canadian roots, European adventures.

I'm a creative problem solver who's fallen in love with transforming spaces. I believe great design isn't just beautiful—it's life-changing in the most everyday ways. Let's create something amazing together that makes you smile every time you walk through the door!
