We recently completed our third project with Step One Design. From our initial meeting on site to the final working drawings, Mike was great to work with and always took the time to answer our questions. I would highly recommend Step One to anyone looking for a custom home design. We will be back again! Thank you!

The perfect combination of creativity and simplicity. Mike executed on our project quickly and delivered exactly what we were looking for in a home. His clear & concise personality made him easy to work with and we'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional house designer.

We have worked with Lisa and Mike on three separate occasions: two reno's to our Colwood office, and this past year, a complete reno to a half duplex for rental. On all three occasions, Lisa and Mike (we worked mostly with Lisa) did an amazing job of making the most of the spaces, providing helpful and practical suggestions, putting us in touch with professional sub-contractors, and suggesting lovely interior design choices which didn't break the budget. It took us a year to figure out the layout for the half duplex as we worked with three different general contractors until we found the right

Lisa came to our home on several occasions and we appreciated her ideas and professionalism. They came highly recommended to me from both clients and builders and they did not disappoint. Lisa was able to sense hesitations and rather than push she dug into the hesitation and listened to make sure that our needs were 100% addressed.

Lisa has done an amazing job in redesigning our house with our tastes in mind. She incorporated our ideas and also came up with better ones, in one case a game changer.
She also gave us different price points which was much appreciated, and was always willing to help, and was endlessly patient! She has an amazing amount of knowledge and took our house from old and dumpy to airy, bright and modern Scandinavian. I now love my house and highly recommend Lisa.
