About

My mission is to design home modifications for seniors that empower older adults to enjoy independent living in their homes for as long as possible. By focusing on client interaction, thoughtful planning, out of the box thinking with every project, I can deliver spaces that reflect personal style while enhancing long-term comfort, safety, and quality of life. If you want to stay in your existing home for the foreseeable future and are considering retrofitting it with a bathroom renovation for aging in place or a kitchen with ergonomic elements that will make it easier and safer to use with the best technology look no further. We can work through what kind of budget is needed to make a home safe , design concepts to suit your needs and procurement of specific accessibility items that will make how you live better. With over 20 years of experience in kitchen and bath design, 6+ years as a Certified Aging in Place Specialist in York and Durham Regions and Houzz award winning customer service, I ensure a seamless renovation process, from conceptual planning to final execution.
