## About

### Houzz Badges

- 25 Ideabook Saves
- Best of Houzz winner
- Locally owned
- Budget friendly

I strive to give the best service possible and I value the importance of building exceptional client relationships. I'm upfront, honest and have a great sense of humour. Whether you’re planning on building new or renovating, the process can be daunting and I want to make it stress free or dare I say- even fun!

You will be provided with a full spectrum of professional interior design services from concept to completion. I believe in creating spaces that are functional and safe while working with your unique style and goals using creative problem solving and collaboration. I also have a wonderful construction company that I work closely with on multiple projects. If your worried about the contractor I have you covered. If you have your own contractor that is wonderful and I will work closely with them to make sure the design is implemented correctly. 

I have a background working with children and adults with exceptionalities therefore having a working knowledge of designing/building universally. I strongly feel every building should be designed appropriately to fit every single person no matter their ability or disability.

**★★★★★ — Colleen G, Nov. 2020**

> We absolutely loved working with Julene of Open Interiors. We were introduced to her through our builder and we hit it off right away. If you are looking for someone who will create a beautiful, one of a kind, thought out design then look no further! Talk about being able to read your mind when it comes to design elements! Julene put so much time and effort into every aspect of our home and it is a work of art. You can really see her passion for interior design in her work. She really does go above and beyond and I would recommend Open Interiors in a heartbeat! Julene was just a pleasure to work with :)

**★★★★★ — James Young, Nov. 2020**

> Open Interiors has been involved in  several projects at our Inn. Julene was heavily involved in the renovation of the lobby area, as well as the Breakfast Cafe and small Kitchen. Her choices for layout, design, and finishes in the lobby completely transformed the look of the hotel. She created a true West Coast feel in our public spaces. Her redesign of the Front Desk has created a space that is more compact, and yet also much more usable than the previous layout.
> She also reconfigured the layout of both our breakfast room, and our small commercial kitchen. Her design made it not only more attractive, but also much more functional from both a staff, and from a guest perspective. The work flow of the kitchen space is completely changed from the original design, and makes it so much easier for the staff to do their jobs.
> Julene has done further design work for planned renovations to our meeting spaces, upstairs lobby areas, and guest rooms. Sadly, those projects are currently on hold due to the  current pandemic.

**★★★★★ — Kim Phillips, Oct. 2019**

> We've had Julene design 2 separate rooms in our home. The kitchen and entrance way/staircase. She's innovative, dedicated, has an eye for the smallest details and a pleasure to work with.Definately looking forward to our next project and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

**★★★★★ — Nolan Smith, Oct. 2019**

> I have worked with Julene on 3 separate projects and she never ceases to deliver. She is my go-to for design and prep work when I am building. She has designed and executed two commercial spaces for me, and is now working on my custom home. I have recommended her to many people because of how much trust I have in her capabilities.
