Mikki L. Litzenberger
PRINCIPAL & LEAD DESIGNER
TSAWWASSEN, BC
Design has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was fascinated by how homes were put together. This curiosity was shaped early on by my father and uncle’s work in construction and later deepened through my studies in Art History.
My career began in product design, working with builders and designers. Over time, my values and my understanding of what “home” really means evolved. I found myself drawn to a more personal and intentional approach to design, which ultimately led me to interior design and to founding my own studio.
Based in South Delta, I focus on modernizing homes through thoughtful and tailored renovations. What matters most to me are the relationships built along the way. I believe the best spaces come from collaboration, trust, and taking the time to truly understand how people live and how they want to feel in their homes.
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!"

I believe design is where structure and imagination meet. When a home reflects who you are, it naturally becomes a place of comfort and ease, regardless of style.
After raising my three children, I returned to my creative roots and completed my interior design diploma, building on earlier art school training in jewellery design. That background sharpened my eye for detail, proportion, and quality, and it continues to influence how I approach interiors today.
I have always been drawn to thoughtful layouts and spaces that genuinely work for the people who live in them. I see my role as a guide who helps bring clarity to ideas, refine choices, and support clients as their homes come together in a way that feels cohesive, personal, and beautifully lived in.
I support the studio by refining systems and processes and by helping create the structure that allows great work to happen. With a background in finance and operations management, I approach the business side of the studio with clarity, intention, and care.
I believe a calm and thoughtful process is just as important as the final result. While my role is not design focused, I value cohesion and attention to detail, and I help support decisions that align with the studio’s aesthetic, standards, and way of working.
At its core, my role is about care. Care for the process, the people behind it, and how everything comes together.
