A Note from Michelle
My love for interior design began many years ago — all the way back in 1996. After spending 15 years as a stay-at-home mom and then navigating some major life changes, I knew in my heart it was time to pursue a career I was truly passionate about.
I used to spend time flipping through kitchen design magazines, completely captivated by the layouts, finishes, and creativity behind every space. One evening, sitting around my dining room table with my girlfriends, in 1998, it was decided — I would begin a new chapter in the kitchen design industry.
What started as curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong career. Through the years, I’ve had the privilege of expanding my work into full interior kitchen design, connecting with incredible clients, and collaborating with talented trades who share the same dedication to craftsmanship and care as I do.
Even as my business has evolved — from a bustling studio to a more personal, client-centered model — my passion remains the same: creating thoughtful, timeless spaces that bring joy to the people who live in them.
Every project reminds me of how lucky I am to do what I love. And now, as a grandmother, it feels even more special to share that passion with the next generation.
In this month’s blog post, we wanted to give you a deeper insight into Foxglove Design — who we are, what we value, and the people and partnerships that make it all possible.
With gratitude,
Michelle
Design That Comes to You
Every client meeting happens right where it should — in your home.
We find that connecting in your space allows us to see how you truly live, understand your style, and collaborate more effectively. Our team works around your schedule to make the process easy and convenient, from first consultation to final reveal.
Many of our clients have been with us for years — returning as their families grow, their homes change, and their needs evolve. Those long-term relationships are what make our work so rewarding and meaningful.
Trusted Trades, Canadian Craftsmanship
We partner exclusively with vetted trades people we’ve worked with for years — professionals who share our values of integrity and attention to detail.
We’re also proud to use sustainable, high-quality, Canadian-made products whenever possible. Our cabinetry partner, for example, is 100% Canadian, meaning no import tariffs and guaranteed craftsmanship. The same commitment extends to our upholstered furniture, lighting, and artwork — thoughtfully sourced from Canadian makers who value quality and design as much as we do.
Choosing local not only ensures exceptional craftsmanship but also supports our community and the environment.
Our Process: Clear, Concise, and Complete
Transparency is at the heart of how we work. From the very first conversation to the final walkthrough, our process is designed to keep you informed, inspired, and confident every step of the way.
- Plan – Every successful project begins with a thoughtful plan. This is where we get to know you, your home, and your vision. We take the time to understand how you live in your space and what matters most to you — so that every design decision feels intentional and personal.
- Design – Once we’ve mapped out your vision, we bring it to life through detailed drawings, curated material selections, and photorealistic 3D renderings. These renderings allow you to visualize your space before any construction begins — helping you see layout, finishes, and lighting come together with clarity and confidence.
- Build – Our trusted trades, many of whom we’ve worked with for years, bring your design to life with care and precision. Every project is managed by Foxglove — we take ownership of the process from start to finish, ensuring every detail is executed as planned. Every element is handled with attention to detail and craftsmanship, ensuring the finished result reflects the plan we created together.
Every detail matters — and every job is completed to the highest standard.
