Samantha helped us turn an old, unused shop space into a stylish and striking creative office. Sam has an incredible eye for the small details that bring a space to life and has created a home for our business that we are very proud to bring our clients to.

We hired Sam to help us with our kitchen renovation. We were originally just seeking some assistance to help us with the design (layout, colours, etc.); however, the value she added to the project was beyond our expectations. She took some Pinterest photos we liked as inspiration and a first draft of a kitchen layout and turned it into an amazing kitchen. She short listed suppliers that fit our budget [everything from floors, cabinets, counters, light fixtures, hardware], got quotes, and managed suppliers which ensured the finished products met our expectations. Along the way she adapted to changes required for various reasons, was very receptive to our wishes, stayed within our prescribed budget, made recommendations that resonated well with us, and occasionally acted as a mediator for our marriage. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend her services, both for design and project management. [Residential Client, 2025]

I just had to share what an absolute delight it was working with Sam! There's something special about her energy – she brings this wonderful sense of calm and warmth to everything she does, while her eye for detail and impeccable style shine through in her work.

The fireplace project she helped us with turned out even better than we imagined. Sam just "got it" – she understood exactly what we wanted and brought fresh, modern ideas that completely transformed our space. We love how she respected our home's character while giving it that perfect contemporary update we were hoping for.

What truly sets Sam apart is her commitment to going above and beyond. Not only did she bring her design expertise, but she also took on the role of project manager, connecting us with excellent suppliers and overseeing every detail from start to finish. Her dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

We honestly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for a designer who truly cares about bringing your vision to life while making the whole process enjoyable, Sam is your person. We're already dreaming up future projects just so we can work with her again! [Residential Client, 2025]

We hired Sam to design our nursery. I was clueless but also opinionated, and Sam managed to create a cohesive vision and look out of all of it within the budget I wanted. I trusted Sam because of her professional and friendly approach, her lengthy work history and clear personal style. In our project, I loved her perfect colour choices and variety of layout options. She selected furniture and décor options for us and found us the most perfect textiles to bring everything together. She directed things where needed and let me take my own path when I wanted while staying true to the vision, and I really appreciated that flexible approach to working together. I LOVE our baby’s nursery – my husband jokes that it’s the nicest room in the house – and I would highly recommend SDD to help anyone create their nicest room (or more!) too!
