Building Storeys - Residential Design, Drafting & Consulting - Saskatoon

I was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan.  We also lived in Melville, SK for a brief period before moving to Canmore, AB when I was 12.  I feel so blessed to of grown up in such a beautiful place, surrounded by mountains.  Some of my favorite hobbies/activities in my youth were snowboarding, reading, cross country running and watching live music.   Throughout my youth, my family built several houses and it was a great pleasure of mine to help my dad with the architectural and interior designs. 

I started university for Nutrition but soon realized that my true passion was Architecture.  I took my Architectural Technologies at Sait in Calgary.  Once graduating, I felt that to truly design a proper home, I needed more education in the structure.  I moved to Vancouver Island to complete my Civil Engineering Technologies at Camosun College in Victoria, BC.  Over these years, snowboarding, music and travel still were my main interests outside of school.  

After college, I spent a few years living several places throughout Canada and travelling world wide.  I started working in Saskatoon in 2006.  It was not my intention to stay here, as I had my sight set on returning to Europe, however life had other plans for me.  I ended up getting a position with the City of Saskatoon as a Building Inspector. (I'm proud to say I was the first female building inspector for the City.)  One by one my family moved to the City.  Fast forward to the present, I am married with a wonderful step son and two young daughters.  I'm delighted to call this City my home.  Since moving to the prairies my favorite winter pastime has become cross country skiiing and I've recently taken up skate skiing.  In the summer months, we spend as much time as possible at the family cabin in Jackfish Lake.  

The outdoors have always been a source of meditation and solace for me.  I don't care if its minus 40, you can find me bundled up out on the trails or inspecting a home.  I have a great appreciation for nature and that is why it is so important to me to design homes that are sustainable, super insulated and healthy for its inhabitants.  I continue to strive to gain knowledge in new products and building techniques.
