Clare Riley

CREATIVE DIRECTOR/
PRINCIPAL DESIGNER

Originally from Australia, Clare came to Canada to travel, ski, and explore and 20 years later, she’s completely fallen for the country, especially the stunning Sea-to-Sky region. She now calls the mountain town of Pemberton home, living with her husband Tim, two children, Mason and Chloe, and their golden retriever Billie. Raising a family in this remarkable part of the world has become a central part of her story.

Clare has been in the interior design industry since 2012, studying at the Vancouver Interior Design Institute. Her prior 7 years as a fashion merchandiser gave her a natural talent for styling, which led her to co-create a successful home staging business in the Sea-to-Sky region in 2017. While staging was a key part of her early career, she soon gravitated toward full-scale design working with clients from concept to completion, turning spaces into unique, personalized homes through thoughtful use of patterns, textures, and finishes.

Her goal is simple: to create warm, inviting interiors where everyone feels at home, while guiding clients through a seamless and enjoyable design process.
