Home Renovation

Marina was truly a pleasure to work with! She helped my partner and I navigate our home renovation efficiently, turning what could have been a stressful process into a streamlined and enjoyable one. We loved her creative ideas and the expertise that she brought to the table. Will not hesitate to call her again for our next home project!

Fantastic Designer

Five star all around! She will be designing our future second property! Marina is an excellent listener yet has a way of maintaining the design integrity, while incorporating client's views. Marina always maintains design principles, and although our house is small, the finished design is spacious and has good flow. She knows where to splurge and where to economize design elements. Marina is one of the most organized individuals I've ever met and never misses a beat. Our contractor said that she is the most organized designer he has ever worked with in his career. Her communication skills are top notch, and she is very responsive, helping stickhandle problems as they arise. Most of our interactions were online, although we had two site visits during the process. Working virtually was seamless. When we had a significant issue with one of the suppliers, Marina was quick to step in and effortlessly get us out of the contract, allowing us to move forward with a new supplier. She managed to bring charm, and a modern touch to a 90 year old house without loosing its character. The design cost was very fair and Marina stayed within the scope and budget. What a lovely person and great designer with a promising future ahead of her. We look forward to working with her again.

Condo renovation

Marina was present and collaborative throughout my project from concept to completion. There were regular meetings to present ideas and make decisions. She worked closely with the general contractor throughout. And she went above and beyond with vendors to ensure amazing finishes in a time when suppliers are low on inventory. The project involved taking the condo down to the studs and rebuilding it to modern specs. Beautiful job!

Main floor renovation

Marina is absolutely incredible. We embarked on a complete redesign of our main floor living area, and were fortunate enough to be put in touch with Marina by our GC. Prior to working with Marina, we had worked with a large design/build company, who we paid to produce a set of concept designs. Having never gone through this experience previously, we didn't know any better, and are so thankful to have been put in touch with Marina. The difference was night and day! Marina helped us redesign the concept, and brought an amazing artist's eye to our entire design process. Her tastes are impeccable and eye for design is very impressive. And incredibly, we did all of this remotely from Ottawa, while she worked from Vancouver.

Despite finishing our work with her well before the start of construction, Marina was there for us throughout the entire 4.5 month construction process. Her customer service is second to none, and it felt like we were her only clients (which obviously isn't the case). We are now in our home, and couldn't be happier. There is absolutely no way we could have done this without her. No question. And working with her was incredibly easy and fun. I would 100% work with Marina again, and very much recommend her to anyone considering anything related to home design. My only regret is not knowing about Marina at the very start of our process!

Thank you, Marina for all of your wonderful assistance! She is incredibly skilled at what she does - an absolute professional and pleasure to work with. There is no way you will regret working with Marina.

Excellent designer

I have worked with Marina on my house renovation project. She assisted me on the interior designed. She is very professional and easy to work with. She listen and digest the my wish list and turn them into reality - something very pratical which I asked for at the beginning. One thing I'd like to mention is she did accommodate my crazy work schedule to have project conversation during weekend and weekday evening. I'd recommmend Marina if you look for someone to work with you on home design/renovation project. no matter the size of the project.

condo renovation design service

It was a great experience to work with Marina.
She is professional, on time at meetings and replying to our emails.
All our requirements were meticulously reflected in the design. We especially like her ideas of the storage parts.
She has an excellent eye for choosing materials and props.
We like her works very much and it was very helpful in working with the constructor.
Although we were not good at English, she communicated with us gently and actively. We are deeply grateful for it.
Thank you so much Marina!

Kitchen Renovation

We hired Marina Medina to create a kitchen concept and design for our house and we are very happy to recommend her to anyone in need of a designer. She was very knowledgeable, experienced and professional with a keen eye for detail. We communicated our needs and wants and she was able to deliver a design that included those details and more using the space that we had. Marina is a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to use her services again.

Home Renovation

Marina was instrumental in our 2,400 sq ft ocean front home renovation.
She completed drawings (interior, exterior, layouts and elevations), permit applications, finish selections and schedules, and interior decorating.
Her professionalism, knowledge and communication made the process easy. Especially her communication, it really helped manage our timeline and expectations. Whenever there were issues or questions, she addressed them quickly for us.
