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.
