You live in Calgary, what defines "Calgary Style?"
Calgary is still evolving in its style. I feel that people in this city like to take the safe route. I believe that it’s my responsibility to introduce new and innovative design aesthetics to this city. I’ve been fairly lucky to have clients that are willing to step out of the box when it comes to design, so Calgary's style is changing... one client at a time.
