Essence Designs

Fabulous to work with from start to finish! I worked with Dawn and her team on my kitchen redesign and renovation and could not be happier with the end result. Not only did she give me a few different layouts which really helped me firm up my design direction and decision, she also helped with materials selection according to my inspiration images. She provided clear design plans and drawings which my contractors had no trouble using. The whole experience made a rough idea I had become my dream kitchen. I think what I most appreciated about her approach is her ability to project manage with clear timelines, milestones and approvals. It kept me on track and ensured that we finished the design process on budget and on time. During the renovation, I had questions and she was attentive and responsive to help me out. If you have a project you have in mind, she can help you make it happen and I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Dawn helped us redesign our kitchen and we could not have done it without her. The end result is our dream kitchen and it's everything we could have ever asked for! Dawn made every step of the way almost effortless. We could not have asked for a better experience on our first major reno. Will definitely be back with future projects!

Dawn has fully redesigned 2 houses for us now -- helping us select everything from faucets to coffee tables. She's AMAZING --- professional, reliable and fun to work with! She''s always multiple steps ahead thinking of little details, ordering materials, and coordinating our work with contractors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

From our first appointment on, I found Dawn to be punctual and knowledgeable of what could improve any number of small problems to transform an old condo kitchen into a bright, contemporary, functional room. We also updated two bathrooms with Dawn suggesting economical solutions as well. Overall I found myself depending on her grounded advice and her vast knowledge of colour, light and design. I certainly would highly recommend Dawn for any project, but she excels at small spaces. Susan

Dawn does great work for clients as you can see from the photos on this project. Here at Swedish Door we find Dawn to be client focused and very professional.
