Mikki L. Litzenberger
PRINCIPAL & LEAD DESIGNER
TSAWWASSEN, BC
Design has been my passion since childhood. At age 12, I was captivated by the different components that made up the houses in my neighbourhood, and my father and uncle's careers in construction only fuelled my fascination.
My first interior design project was for my father's construction company during my summer break from studying Art History. After earning my BA, I pivoted my career and began working for a builder's hardware company.
However, after many years with large manufacturers of renovation and design products, I realized my heart was pulling me in a different direction. With my values maturing, I transitioned from my career in international product design to interior design and opened my own studio.
As a resident of South Delta, I love working within the community, modernizing homes through thoughtful and personalized renovations. However, I get the most joy and inspiration from the connections we form with our clients and trade partners.
Kind Words
"Mikki was so amazing to work with. I was worried about working with a designer who wouldn’t listen to my input. She listened and designed an outstanding kitchen and guest bathroom for me, guiding me when I was making some questionable decisions. Always trying to keep costs to a reasonable level, providing options and a beautiful vision for the final product. Everyone who has seen the renovations has been impressed with the design and quality of the materials. I was so lucky to meet up with Mikki and would not hesitate to recommend her to others or work with her again. Thanks Mikki for creating such a warm and relaxing space!"
