Working with the Design Shop has been amazing. Ubisoft is a very creative company, and we wanted to make sure our new studio conveyed that as well as stood out from the rest. Takes a very special group to understand us, (and me being an artist as well) they definitely "got us".

We could not be happier with the results. It was such a collaborative process, we where always in sync with our ideas, and they did an awesome job executing them. I would work with them again in a heart beat, and hope we can. Or even just have beer and nachos with them, they are great to just be around which makes the work even better!

Design Shop is a team of brilliant humans filled with talent, guts, loyalty, consistency and brilliance. I am amazed by their work.

We did a major restaurant renovation in a space that did not start out as a restaurant.

From the very first meeting, Debs (principal designer and co-owner) laid out exactly what costs/investment would be and it became clear immediately that this process was going to be full-disclosure, honest, passionate and adaptable.

Through the process, we felt patiently respected and valued.

We were provided with plans that were understandable, well-explained, on schedule, and totally outrageously beautiful.

The attention to detail by these pros from the moment of walking into the space to measure, in the careful creation of the plans, and in keeping their eyes on the process and making so much time to check on the project as it went is incredible.

Debs was there more than we were, pointing things out, tweaking what needed to be tweaked, and noticing everything. Design shop designers made themselves available quickly and wholeheartedly and showed up when any tiny thing required their attention. They worked so well and seamlessly and collaboratively with our contractors, Trickett Interiors (we're also their biggest fans, but that's another review.)

Design Shop does not stop when the project is complete. They are so proud of their businesses they work with and support them relentlessly and in so many ways. We especially feel grateful for the energy they brought to our project after their work was done.

We loved our meetings in their beautifully designed and super relaxed office. It started to feel like we were part of their team family:) It was amazing to be excited and hopeful about our resto together.

We don't know how these talented people do what they do or what they did with us, or how they do everything so well, but we're really glad and grateful that they did.

The investment of working with Design Shop on our restaurant was the best idea.

They saved us so much money and time in the long run with concise and careful consideration on every single part of our project. And we got a space for our business that was different and better and more usable than anything we had hoped and dreamed about.

Design Shop fans,

It was a pleasure working with Design Shop on the Little Brown Jug taproom. The team is creative, über competent, reliable, and able to execute on their ideas. Moreover, they are fair, responsive, and fun to work with; I'll keep calling them back whenever I need a designer.

I had the pleasure of working with Design Shop to build my dream dental office. Truly it was the best experience and I enjoyed collaborating with such skilled, energetic, kind and genuine people. From the start of the project, they unrolled the red carpet. They went above and beyond to make sure that not a single detail was missed. They are the best at what they do and their passion for their work shows!

Our vision came together so nicely. What should have been an extremely stressful process was a true breeze because the Design Shop team made it this way. It is obvious that they had our best interest at heart. They took the time to really get to know my partner and I and connect with us in order to understand our vision and turn our dream into a reality.

Thank-you Nat and Deb for your expertise, your care, your devotion, your skills, your kindness and your attention to detail.

I now get to set foot every day and welcome my patients in a space that I love, and it really does bring out the best in all of us :) The best part: I wouldn’t change a single thing in it.

From a sincerely happy client :)

We engaged Design Shop to design our new offices. We placed a number of restrictions on them and the team knocked it out of the park. We are now happily in our offices and everyone that visits remarks how relaxing and impressive the space is.

The Design Shop team was responsive and great at finding ways to make the space interesting and ever so workable.

Highly recommend working with them!

Working with the Design Shop has been an absolute joy. They listened to our ideas and created something so unique and timeless that I really don’t know how to thank them properly. I love the timely responses and they are just plain old fun to work with. They all went above and beyond.

I would highly recommend.

Thanks Mel, Amanda, Deb and the whole team from all of us at Low Life Barrel House!

Form Aesthetics would not be what it is without the vision of the Design Shop Girls. They were truly invested in the success of this business and continue to support us daily. When you work with the DSG, you also get a marketing team, a support system, and business partners for life. Deb is genuine in her enthusiasm for local entrepreneurs and is constantly dreaming up new ideas to make her clients successful, long after the design is complete.

I would like to express my confidence in Debbie, both for the quality of her design thinking, and for her entrepreneurial abilities. She makes a personable addition to a consultant team, bringing her pleasant energy and applying her creativity to the project at hand. Debbie has demonstrated the professional skillset required to effectively lead design team through full range of complex projects.
