Design Sessions
Virtual design advice to make your home feel like you: colour, lighting, art, styling, and the pieces that pull it all together.
Bring whatever's got you stuck, one big question or a handful of small ones. We'll work through them in order of what matters most to you.
Maybe a room just feels off and you can't put your finger on why. Maybe you've been hunting for the right lamp for six months. Maybe you want a palette that finally ties the whole house together. Whatever it is, I'll look at it with you, we'll talk it through, and you'll leave with a direction you feel good about.

Lighting, lamps and ambience

How it works
1. Tell me about your space. Choose a time, then fill out a short questionnaire and upload a few photos. Pinterest boards and floor plans are always welcome, but not required.
2. Watch it come to life. Over Google Meet, we'll work through your list together as I pull in inspiration and source pieces live on screen.
3. Start transforming. Within 24 hours, you'll receive a summary of everything we covered and a few hand-picked pieces, so you can start transforming your space.

"Why did I not do this earlier?! Leah totally got my style and she honed in on the good companies that reflected my style. I think of the hours and money I've spent in the past buying things that just didn't work. Now I feel confident in my purchases. Leah was so amazing to work with — she's very professional, yet very open, warm and friendly with a good sense of humour."
— JAN SANDERSON
"I really enjoyed my virtual consultation with Leah as we are starting to think about the changes and updates we might want in our new home. It will be done in stages, and she was so helpful in targeting our preferences and providing wonderful design element ideas as well as sourcing products for us. She is very open and collaborative! I recommend this experience highly!"

Why I love this work
Most people tell me the same thing: design decisions feel overwhelming. One choice affects the next, and it's hard to trust that it'll all come together.
Before I started my studio, I worked for a semi-custom home builder, helping homeowners make every selection for their new home, from cabinetry and plumbing to trim, doors and paint, in a single appointment. It taught me how to simplify decisions and guide people toward choices that actually fit together.
That was over a decade ago. Since then, I've spent eight years running my own studio, designing homes, cottages and chalets across Georgian Bay and Muskoka, with two national design awards along the way.
These days I'm designing from wherever I am in the world, and I'd love to bring that eye to your home. Expect a focused, productive session, with a little fun along the way.
Hope to see you soon,
