OUR TEAM
A little bit about us
Clare Riley
Clare lives in Pemberton with her husband Tim, two children, Mason and Chloe and golden Lab Coda. Pemberton is a huge part of her story, living here and raising a family is something so special.
Clare has been in the Interior Design industry since 2012 studying at the Vancouver Interior Design Institute. Combining that with her previous 7 years experience as a fashion merchandiser being able to “style” a space was something that came naturally to her.
In 2017 she partnered to create a successful home staging business in the Sea to sky region. While staging is a huge part of the design process she eventually gravitated towards the Design. Being apart of projects from the beginning and working closely with clients is what makes the job so rewarding.
Her objective is to insure everyone feels at home in her space creating warm and inviting homes for everyone to enjoy.
Jennie Kyle
Jennie & husband Michael are thrilled to be raising their two boys in the beautiful village of Pemberton. Both are passionate about community and sport & the importance of coaching youth. She moved to Whistler British Columbia in 2002 after graduating from the University of Ottawa with honours in Social Sciences.
Her curiosity for design began in the web design industry, completing a diploma in web publishing and web design from Langara college in 2006, using that knowledge to build personal web-based businesses. She has since completed a complimentary diploma specializing in Digital Marketing in 2021.
Jennie has always been passionate about interior design and her eye for design naturally led her into the world of interiors. She excitedly joined Clare Riley Design in 2021, an opportunity to listen & work with clients to help them create and bring their desired visions to reality.
Tamara McGill
Tamara has admittedly been obsessed with design and architecture since she was a kid. With a background in photography, art, and media design/branding, she photographed architecture and interiors while living in Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver.
Now living in the Pemberton Valley, she has come full circle to interior design and fulfilling that part of a creative path. Studying with the Interior Design Institute and drawing on a foundation of decades of creative experience, working with designers and architects, Tamara brings an artful and unique perspective to the team. She believes we all need to be surrounded by beauty, and home is the most important part of that.
She is excited to be part of a team of talented creatives who are passionate about good design and functional living space. Random facts about T: lover of old dogs, early mornings, loud music, post-modern, the ocean, and finding the light.
