Meet Phil and Kelly: Your Design Partners

Phil and Kelly are a husband-and-wife team deeply rooted in Manitoba, bringing over 30 years of combined experience in Architectural and Interior Design to the table.

Phil began his career at a small architectural firm, focusing on high-end homes and small commercial projects. After ten years, he transitioned to a larger firm, where he spent the next 15 years working on significant commercial projects, including the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Remai Modern Public Art Gallery, and Diversity Gardens, among others. Despite his corporate success, Phil's true passion has always been high-end residential design. For 25 years, he collaborated in the evenings with his best friend—an Interior Designer he met on their first day of university—fueling their shared love for creative design.

Twenty years ago, a project in Comox brought Phil to the Island, sparking his affection for its breathtaking beauty. For two decades, he dreamt of relocating his family to a place where you can golf and ski in the same day.

After 25 years of collaboration, Phil and his friend became partners, establishing a boutique firm in Winnipeg that has completed projects from Toronto to New York and Florida.

Kelly grew up immersed in the world of construction, thanks to her family's carpentry business. Although her career initially took her down the path of finance, her passion for design remained strong. She joined Phil in the evenings, working on residential projects throughout the years.

A few years ago, Phil realized his dream of moving his family to the Island. This transition allowed Kelly to return to school and formally graduate in Interior Design.

Together, they founded Cedar Street Designs, where their extensive creative and technical skills ensure your project is not only stunning but also runs smoothly and stays within budget. They are committed to enriching this Island paradise, drawing inspiration from its natural beauty to create designs that resonate with the surroundings.
