MAVERICK DESIGN

We loved working with Danielle at Maverick Design on our renovation. She immediately understood our aesthetic and desire to create a home that feels warm, cozy, and elegant, without defaulting to a typical all-white, modern look. She brought so much creativity to the process (our equestrian-themed powder room is a standout!) and made everything feel collaborative and enjoyable. Midway through, we decided to get a puppy and asked about adding a dog wash station to the mudroom. Danielle was genuinely excited and designed something that’s both beautiful and incredibly functional. What stood out most was her balance. Danielle really listened to our vision while also providing clear, confident direction when choices felt overwhelming. She was always open to ideas and changes, even late in the project, which made us feel supported throughout. We’re so happy with the result and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer who creates thoughtful, personalized spaces with both creativity and guidance.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Maverick Design on a massive renovation of our 1940s home - and we truly couldn’t have done it without Danielle. From the very beginning, Danielle brought vision, creativity, and calm confidence to what felt like an overwhelming project. Our goal was to transform a closed-off, dated layout into an open, welcoming space with relaxed coastal vibes - and she absolutely nailed it. She respected the character of our older home while reimagining it for modern living. Every detail felt intentional - from the light, airy finishes to the thoughtful flow of each room. She helped us make smart design decisions, stayed organized throughout the process, and collaborated seamlessly with trades to keep everything moving. What we appreciated most was Danielle’s ability to listen. She understood how we wanted our home to feel - not just how we wanted it to look - and she delivered a space that feels bright, warm, and effortlessly beautiful. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful designer in Victoria, we can’t recommend Maverick Design enough. Danielle turned our house into the coastal-inspired home we always dreamed of.

Danielle and Maverick Design bring a true design-build mindset to every project. As builders in Victoria BC, we appreciate her practical approach to design, clear documentation, and thoughtful material selections. Her ability to balance creativity with construction realities makes her a valuable partner for any home renovation or new build design project.

We contaced Maverick design to help us with a renovation on the main floor of our house. We were completely stuck not knowing where to start or how to make the best use of a relatively small space. We were very pleased and pleasantly surprised to see what Danielle came up with for our home. It was so much better than anything we could have imagined. She laid everything out for us from the start of the project to completion including timelines and cost. Her service was incredible and everyone on the job was of the highest standard work quality and professionalism. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is facing a renovation or who wants to reimagine their space in a completely new, functional and stylish way.

Working with Danielle on a feasibility study was such a positive and inspiring experience. Her ability to see our home in ways we hadn't really thought of has opened up all sorts of new ideas for us. While we're not planning on moving forward quite yet with an actual reno, I would feel confident in working with Danielle for both design and project management!

Danielle and her team at Maverick did an amazing job with our whole interior house renovation. From the very initial consultation to the finalized cleaning, she makes very stressful renos (especially with kids and living in the house) as seamless as possible. Her attention to detail, patience, and ability to mesh both our styles with her vision was amazing to see transform! EB Contracting is the dream team, such nice thoughtful guys, highly recommend them as well. A lot of hard work, following up with trades, and making sure everything was done right from start to finish. Thank you Maverick for our design and managing our dream reno! Tessa and Clayton

From our initial inquiry phone call with Danielle to 7 months later when our extensive renovation was complete and the Maverick Design sign came down (and we were sad to see it go), my husband and I experienced nothing but the best in every aspect of our project. We found Danielle to be the consummate design professional – she expertly managed our vision, our budget, our questions, and our expectations from start to finish. The process-driven approach she takes to renovation design and build meant that our project was treated as unique, which allowed us to put our personal touch and our values into many aspects of the project, while keeping our project contained within the fundamentals of excellent design, and on track, and on budget. Danielle’s communication was proactive, responsive, and clear. She asked lots of questions, and more importantly, she really listened. No decisions were made before we were all on the same page. Her ideas were beautiful, creative, doable, and inspired. She gave us our dream home. And then there’s the team of trusted trades and craftsmen Danielle works with – even our dogs loved having them in the house! Erik of EB Renovations and his crew were the dream team – they took on the renovation our 100+ year old house with such skill that they made it look easy (and we know it wasn’t always easy – our house definitely threw them some curveballs). If the workday started at 8:00 a.m., then the EB van was pulling up at 7:45 to unload and be on the tools by 8:00. We can’t say enough about how much we appreciate the work EB did on our project – from custom crafting a gorgeous barn door from our re-purposed cedar subflooring and a custom hood fan shroud from our new flooring, to moving walls, and everything in between, EB “nailed it” (pun intended). Thank you, Danielle, and the Team for our beautiful home! Jody and Geoff

We worked with Danielle (Maverick Design) on a redesign of our basement and office space. She immediately understood what we were looking for and the planning process was easy for us! We had never worked with a designer before and the entire experience was wonderful. From approving furniture/design, to her team facilitating deliveries and tradesmen, it went extremely smoothly. Danielle and her team and efficient, professional, and experienced. We hope to continue to work with Danielle and her team at Maverick design and already have some other projects in mind!

I recently relocated to Victoria and wanted to have several upgrades done to my new place and purchase all new furnishings. I needed help with design concepts and assistance to arrange for contractors and to source furnishings. Danielle Keogan of Maverick Design has handled the design details and also acted as “general contractor” to hire and supervise the needed tradespeople, including painters, carpenters and electricians. Danielle has provided options, alternatives and budgets for my consideration and discussion. She then implemented the agreed plan by arranging for the purchase of materials, the hiring and supervision of tradespeople, and the sourcing, delivery, installation and assembly of furnishings. I would not have been able to manage this without her help. Danielle and her staff have managed so many details in my absence. They have been highly reliable, dedicated, and accessible throughout. They are a pleasure to work with.

Danielle from Maverick Design helped bring our vision to life. She was very professional and helped with making sure things stayed on schedule. She helped us figure out our needs and as a result we are loving our newly renovated house. We highly recommend Danielle.

Maverick Design came to the rescue. We are adding a third floor to our house and I was feeling overwhelmed with the design plans as this is all new to me. We initially had another designer, but none of the designs were suitable. Discouraged, we were referred to Danielle as a design consultant. When we initially met for our consultation, Danielle asked me leading questions to get to know our needs and vision for the third floor and to pinpoint what we really wanted. Quickly, she came back to me with a couple of beautiful options. I felt a huge relief. Both options were clean and met all of our needs, with one being more conventional, and the other more innovative. We really appreciated being presented with different options, as well as creative and unique ideas. Danielle’s calm presence, her strong knowledge, and her experience gave me the confidence to decide on a design and move forward. From there, she was able to guide me through the process, welcoming my many follow-up questions, bringing our attention to ideas and details that we would not have thought of on our own, and keeping it simple yet insightful every step of the way. We felt heard and taken care of by Danielle, and this in return saved us from making some costly mistakes. Danielle not only has the expertise, she has an innate ability to conceptualize stunning designs that meet her client’s needs. We will definitely come back to Maverick Design for our next reno. Thank you, Danielle!

When we were considering renovations, a trusted tradesperson recommended talking with Danielle Keogan and Maverick Design. We were extremely impressed by the elegance and simplicity of the realized designs shown on her website. We met Danielle, discussed what we were seeking for our kitchen and dining area, and she soon proposed a striking yet responsive conceptual design that made a much better use of our space. She encouraged our active engagement in selecting the appliances, materials, colours and detailing that would best transform the space into one where we would want to spend a great deal of time by ourselves and entertaining. She listened carefully to our views and integrated these into the final design. She ensured that decisions were taken in a timely manner so that all materials would be ready when needed. When it came time to do the build, she drew upon her network of skilled trades women and men, who worked together seamlessly in their tasks to deconstruct, reconstruct and beautify our house. We are delighted with the result and highly recommend the Maverick team to anyone planning a renovation or new build.
