With over a decade of industry experience, Lisa has built a practice rooted in collaboration, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for how people live in their homes.
Her passion for design began early, influenced by hands-on creative experiences and an interest in spatial planning. After studying interior design at Sheridan College, Lisa worked across various design sectors, including furniture retail, condominium development, and high-end residential interiors. These experiences shaped her approach and led her to launch LKD, a firm that emphasizes curated, functional spaces tailored to each client’s lifestyle.
Beyond aesthetics, Lisa prioritizes sustainability and quality craftsmanship, working with local artisans and suppliers to ensure longevity in design. Her studio operates with a structured process that balances creativity with efficiency, allowing clients to navigate the complexities of home design with confidence.
Lisa and her team continue to expand their reach, taking on projects across Canada while keeping an eye on future opportunities beyond. Whether transforming heritage homes or designing contemporary retreats, her work reflects a refined yet livable sensibility, always with a focus on making spaces feel personal and timeless.
