Spatial Design
Design is never only about what we are creating. It is also about how we move through the process of creating it.
Whether building a home, collaborating with a team, or navigating a complex project, the process involves more than practical decisions alone.
It brings together questions of values, relationships, priorities, change, and the many ways we translate ideas into reality.
It involves ongoing decision-making, managing timelines and budgets, and navigating uncertainty. This can feel overwhelming on top of everyday life — and take a significant toll on our wellbeing.
How we move through these parts of the experience shapes not only the outcome of a project, but the time, energy, and resources required along the way.
Conventional design processes tend to focus on the practical and technical side of a project, but often leave little space for the emotional and lived experience of what it means to actually go through it.
My work holds both.
I support people through the home creation journey — from early visioning and spatial exploration to the many decisions that follow — and facilitate collaborative processes with architectural teams and other design-focused groups.
In both contexts, I bring care and intention to the human experience of the process, creating stronger foundations for thoughtful decisions, effective collaboration, and better outcomes.
If you are:
Starting to imagine what you want in a future home — in terms of function, feeling, or both — but are not yet sure how to translate that into clear spatial direction
Entering a build or renovation project with a partner, family, or community and wanting greater alignment before moving forward
Taking on a home project on your own and wanting support as decisions begin to unfold
Working with a design team or group and wanting to create stronger alignment, communication, and shared understanding throughout the process
Or finding yourself at another point in the process where you would benefit from slowing down, reflecting, and gaining clarity around what is emerging
Beginning with what matters most — the needs, values, and intentions guiding the work and how you want to move through the process — creates a stronger foundation for everything that follows.
Home Design Support
I offer home design sessions that integrate design thinking with reflective and creative approaches, supporting both the practical decisions involved in a project and the deeper experience of bringing a vision into form.
Through these sessions, you will:
Clarify your needs, priorities, and decision-making criteria
Engage more actively in the design process through creative and reflective methods
Reduce overwhelm and decision fatigue
Minimize misalignment, saving time, energy, and resources
Create a home that reflects how you actually want to live
These sessions support both the space you create and the process of getting there — bringing greater clarity, alignment, and care to the way you move through it.
Collaborative Team Facilitation
While much of my work centres on the personal home design journey, the same approach extends to my collaborative design process work, including facilitation with architectural and design teams, organizations, and other groups navigating complex creative work.
Across these different contexts, my focus remains the same: creating space for clarity, alignment, and more intentional ways of moving through the process of creating.
Home Design Support
Imagining Your Future Home
A creative and reflective process for clarifying the vision for your future home.
Single Session (2 hours) — $290
Three-Session Series (3 × 2 hours) — $800
In person or virtual
For people in the early stages of imagining a home, and wanting to begin with intention and greater clarity before moving into design decisions or plans. This session creates space to explore what matters most, how you want to live, and what your home may need to support that.
Through a series of guided reflective and art-based exercises, you will be supported to develop:
A more embodied sense of what home means to you
A clearer understanding of your wants, needs, values, decision-making patterns, and where there may be tension or competing priorities
A tangible connection between how you want to feel and how your home can support that
This space provides a reflective starting point for shaping a home with greater clarity, alignment, and intention. It can be held as a single session, or over multiple sessions for those who want to continue developing their vision over time.
Spatial Walkthrough + Design Direction
Exploring the potential of an existing space or future project site.
Starting at $500
Each project is unique. Pricing depends on project scope, location, and the level of preparation or follow-up involved.
Together, we walk through your home, renovation project, or property to explore possibilities for layout, flow, function, and feeling within the space. This session combines observation, conversation, and conceptual design thinking to generate early direction and uncover possibilities that may be difficult to see on your own.
This session includes:
A guided walkthrough of your space (in person or virtual)
Exploration of layout, flow, function, atmosphere, and lived experience
Real-time spatial feedback and conceptual brainstorming
Early design ideas and next-step direction
A follow-up summary sketch or concept notes
This offering brings grounded, real-time clarity to your space through direct engagement with the environment itself.
Ongoing Project Support
Additional sessions — $140/hour
For clients who would benefit from continued guidance throughout their home creation journey, additional sessions are available to support decision-making, refine ideas, and navigate the evolving process.
These sessions provide flexible support as questions, challenges, and decisions arise, helping you stay connected to what matters most throughout the process.
Collaborative Design Facilitation
Design Team Facilitation
Custom workshops for design office teams, collaborative projects, and client engagement processes.
Starting at $550
Pricing depends on group size, duration, location, and workshop scope.
For architectural and creative teams wanting to build stronger foundations for collaboration, communication, and project alignment. Workshops can be tailored to the specific needs, dynamics, and goals of the team or project.
Workshops can support:
Project kickoffs and wrap-ups
Client engagement and participatory design processes
Creative brainstorming and collaborative problem-solving
Team-building processes
Moments where a group would benefit from slowing down, reflecting together, and clarifying shared values, priorities, and project direction
Facilitated workshops create space for more reflective, collaborative, and intentional ways of working together within design and creative processes.
The spaces we create quietly shape the rhythms of our daily lives, our relationships, and our sense of belonging.
In turn, the choices we make while creating them are shaped by who we are, what we value, and who we are becoming.
My hope is to support a process of thoughtful conversation, creative exploration, and intentional decision-making — one that honours both the practical realities of building and the deeply personal experience of creating a place to belong.
