"Melissa made our renovation experience enjoyable and rewarding and for that we will be forever grateful. After speaking with several designers, Melissa stood out as extremely competent, passionate, up to date and a pretty damn cool chick. We began working together and from that moment forward things changed. Immediately she narrowed down succinctly our tastes and cut out all of the noise. She worked tirelessly at gathering all the required information and laying out efficient and timely presentations whenever the next decision was needed to move our process along. She would even speak directly with our contractors to ensure the right vision was conveyed and understood. I can honestly say the end result of our significant renovation was pure satisfaction and a huge part of that was because of Melissa and her contacts."

“Choosing to work with Melissa on our custom, forever home build was one of the best decisions we made throughout the whole process. She so seamlessly blended mine and my husbands visions for our home and ensured our sometimes opposite tastes came together cohesively. Melissa was there from helping with initial floor plans to furniture suggestions months after we had moved in. She made building a home during a chaotic time of our life effortless by showing up to meetings with a handful of choices or guiding us through an entire showroom when we had the time or desire. We absolutely love our home and know we will for years to come thanks to timeless design choices where it counts.”

“Working with Melissa and her team was an absolute pleasure! I didn't really know what I wanted, but Melissa knew! Her vision, and uncanny ability to pull from me a design that I love, resulted in a perfect space that I'm sure I'll be happy with for years to come! She communicated well with my contractor, and kitchen design team, and even helped me pick out furniture, and appliances, saving me thousands of dollars. Melissa's knowledge, and advice likely saved me more than it cost to hire her, and I would have been lost without her! Thank you Melissa, and M.E. Design team!!“

“Working with M.E. design was the best part of our renovation experience. Melissa and her team helped us turn our inspiration into a reality. Their expertise and knowledge saved us both time and money. Not only was the team consistently organized and thorough, they made the process fun and stress free. The end product has exceeded our expectations. Without hesitation we would recommend M.E. Design to our friends and family. We look forward to working with their team on our next project!”

“We hired m.e. design after having the stressful task of picking everything (layout, paint, kitchen, lighting, etc) for our new build. Melissa was so helpful in bringing out our particular style in the home, that it turned out even better then we could have imagined. Melissa was very accommodating to work with, and was able to do amazing work with our limited budget. We were instantly drawn to her friendly personality, and professionalism.”

"As a contractor, building a custom home is a daunting task, but Melissa takes the edge right off. Her excellent work aside, it’s her sense of humour and dedication to turning her clients’ vision into reality that make her invaluable (despite what her invoices say). We love working with Melissa and her team for both the sake of our clients and our portfolio!”

“This team was awesome. My husband and I differ on design likes and dislikes. He likes a more stream line and modern look while I like some of that with a little glam but yet a little cozy. Melissa and her team combined our likes and made it work. They were not pushy with their ideas but gently nudged us in the right direction. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We ended up with a design and house that we love to walk into. Thanks so much for your tolerance, patience and expertise opinion.”

I have worked Melissa on two separate houses and I can’t recommend her enough. In my first house, her paint colour choices and lighting fixture recommendations transformed our dated space for a very reasonable cost. In our second reno, she was able to take my all-over-the-place wants and put them together into a cohesive design that is more modern but still works with the style of our home. She was meticulous when choosing paint, tile, cabinetry colours and flooring, taking into account all the lighting and appeasing my need for things to match! She is extremely detailed when dealing with trades - ensuring no mistakes were made and things were completed the way we planned. I really appreciate her straight forward approach if I chose something that wouldn’t work with what I had already chosen. I trust her choices and advice completely and will be using her again.
