My first thought was - nah I don't need a designer I know what I like. Well let me tell you, the expertise, help, and professionalism that Mikki has brought to my reno has been invaluable. She is easy to work with has great ideas and direction and I will never regret hiring her! An investment that was very worthwhile - you won't regret working with her!!! **Comment from ALTER Design Studio:** > I loved that you knew what you liked. We made a great team! **★★★★★ — Susanne Bohmert, Feb. 2022** > Mikki was so amazing to work with. I was worried about working with a designer who wouldn’t listen to my input. She listened and designed an outstanding kitchen and guest bathroom for me, guiding me when I was making some questionable decisions. Always trying to keep costs to a reasonable level, providing options and a beautiful vision for the final product. Everyone who has seen the renovations has been impressed with the design and quality of the materials. I was so lucky to meet up with Mikki and would not hesitate to recommend her to others or work with her again. Thanks Mikki for creating such a warm and relaxing space! **Comment from ALTER Design Studio:** > It was such a pleasure to work with you Susanne! I'm thrilled that you are happy in your new space. **★★★★★ — Cassandra Ebner, Feb. 2022** > We had no idea how to achieve a tranquil house inspired by our love for nature and Japan's minimalistic style... When I found Mikki it couldn't have been a better fit! She listened to everything that inspired us and truly brought our vision to life. There is NO way I would have been able to figure out the small or BIG details to bring it all together. I was so inspired by the process that I hope to be able to work on a project with Mikki again because of what she brings to life and how fun it was! Obviously, the process takes time and it's hard but Mikki helped us when we would go through the hard times of the reno and listened to any concerns we had. This project was massive but our house now feels like home and I am so grateful for Mikki!! **Comment from ALTER Design Studio:** > Thank you so much Cassandra! It was an absolute pleasure, working with you both. What started as facelift, turned into a massive makeover! I am so delighted that you lover your new home. Can't wait to collaborate again! **★★★★★ — Ramona, July 2021** > We can''t say enough about Mikki's creativity, interior design expertise and attention to detail. We hired her to provide design advice and to furnish and decorate our 3 bedroom condo - and to do it all in a short time frame as we were relocating across the country. After receiving our feedback as to likes/dislikes, colour choices etc., she presented the project boards with options that were so well-suited to our tastes. We appreciated her extra effort to accommodate some of our own pieces into the design such as our full-size keyboard in the office. She was quick with suggestions and honest feedback as well as responding promptly to questions/comments. Mikki provided regular budget updates and kept the project within our budget. The day of the reveal exceeded our expectations! We were blown away - a beautiful, inviting space to call home. There was much to take in - her attention to detail was not lost on us - from the candles burning, to fresh flowers and plush towels to name a few. We are so grateful to Mikki and her team! Highly recommended! **Comment from ALTER Design Studio:** > Ramona & Ian, you were so much fun to work with! You made my job easier, providing me a clear vision of your style and wants for the space. The reveal was the most fulfilling of my career! And best of all, I have gained two new friends. I'm so glad you loving your space. **★★★★★ — Peter and Lesa, Feb. 2021** > Mikki is the epitome of design excellence. > Hiring a designer was something my wife and I didn't think we needed to do. It was only after losing ourselves with all the different choices one can have when starting a renovation that we exhausted ourselves and gave up. > Mikki to the rescue. > She is the ultimate professional. She took the the time to listen to our wishes and "needs" and came through with a wonderful, modern, and elegant finished project. She was available everyday to answer our questions and diffuse my worries. Her selections and choices for materials and finishes was amazing. Providing us with varying degrees of price points, going over every detail, and providing solutions to the problems that always show up in renovations, allowed us to relax and enjoy our project. > Mikki's professionalism, understanding, and ability to troubleshoot AND provide solutions makes her a designer that anyone would be comfortable with. We would never have been able to complete our dream reno without her input. > She has this uncanny ability to choose finishes, colour palates, and design elements that all just work wonderfully together. > > Thank you so much! > > Mikki is highly recommended to anyone wishing to have someone guide them on fulfilling their own dream renovation. > > Pete and Lesa > Tsawwassen. **Comment from ALTER Design Studio:** > Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure working with your both and I am glad you are happy with the results. **★★★★★ — bourque, Nov. 2020** > Mikki offers a range of services and thoughtfully listens to her client needs. For our interior design project she incorporated existing features into an updated living room working within our budget. She has a natural talent and is easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for any project large or small. **★★★★★ — Globe Union Co, July 2020** > I hired Mikki for designing my living space, which was a remaining part of an overall remodel. She did an excellent job of navigating our parameters, incorporating existing items, and truly understanding our needs and end-goal. She gave us a layout and design direction that my partner and I both completely agree upon, which is an achievement in itself. It's the combination of superb listening skills combined with a great eye and ability to understand 3-D space that makes Mikki a fantastic designer. ## Selected projects - [Enderby Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/enderby-avenue-pj-vj~7285344) - Location: Delta, BC - Photos: 21 - Description: Our client approached us with a clear vision for her kitchen and office but needed professional expertise to design custom millwork and to harmoniously blend all elements.

The bungalow was dated and needed a refresh and to reflect our clients tastes and most importantly, dreams. We got to work putting together a design complete with furnishings and accessories that would bring our clients j… - [Curle Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/curle-avenue-pj-vj~6788865) - Location: Burnaby, BC - Photos: 21 - Description: Our clients wanted to replace their dark and dated 80's kitchen and powder room with an open, bright and modern space.

Our clients are thrilled with their new open floor plan and beautiful kitchen. - [Chamberlayne Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chamberlayne-avenue-pj-vj~7306248) - Location: Delta, BC - Photos: 12 - Description: Our clients have spent decades putting their children first.

We were able to transform their 1980's kitchen into a functional, modern space with so much additional storage. New custom cabinetry in a soft sage green and light grey, are complimented by simple marble look quartz and porcelain tile. A new pantry, appliance garage and an island were all desired by the client and delivered by us. - [Valley Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/valley-retreat-pj-vj~6833985) - Location: Maple Ridge, BC - Photos: 33 - Description: Our clients originally came to us with a request to take their dark and dated home and design a warm West Coast meets Japan vibe.

The result was stunning and our clients are thrilled with their new… - [White Rock Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-rock-condo-pj-vj~6671208) - Location: Surrey, BC - Photos: 17 - Description: We were honoured to be asked by R & I, to completely furnish their brand new White Rock Condo. Moving all the way across the country, they needed us to manage all aspects of the project, from design to final set up. We worked closely with our clients to select all of the furniture and art pieces, then they let us go, to finish the space. While we didn't touch any major finishes or fixtures installed by the developer, a key decision was made to re-paint the space to better reflect their tastes an… - [English Bluff Modern Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/english-bluff-modern-update-pj-vj~6527566) - Location: Delta, BC - Photos: 14 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/alter-design-studio-pfvwus-pf~406462819) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
