Hi, I’m Cindy Gillies, and I'm obsessed with what I call Transformative Design. Ever heard of it? Neither had I until recently, though I’ve been practicing it since 2011.
Transformative Design goes well beyond aesthetics. It’s about creating spaces that nurture your overall well-being—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We focus on helping you through life’s transitions, using thoughtful, adaptable designs that are tailored specifically to your needs and your journey.
I discovered this approach while helping a friend navigate an unexpected transition at home, back when I was still working in finance. What began with painting a couple of walls soon evolved into completely transforming her space—cleansing it of past energy and creating a fresh, welcoming sanctuary. That experience calmed her and sparked a passion in me, leading to the development of my signature process: Release, Receive, Redesign. It’s a method of letting go of what no longer serves you, welcoming the new, and creating a space and life you love.
