Andrea holds two distinctions, Intern Architect, AIBC, and Registered Interior Designer, IDIBC. Her design practice focuses on residential building design, interior design, and landscape design. Andrea holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design from Kwantlen Polytechnic University (1994), as well as a Master of Architecture from the University of British Columbia (2008).

Andrea credits her time living in Japan, five years total, following interior design school, as pivotal in shaping her sense of place and understanding it’s relationship to design and architecture. During this time, Andrea became intimately familiar with Japanese life, art, culture, and language, which started her curiosity in looking deeper into how people live, and why. Since graduating from Architecture school in 2008, Andrea has been simultaneously engaged in her busy design practice and raising her two daughters, Pilar and Hana. Andrea’s projects have been frequently published and have won numerous awards including an Architizer Jury Award in 2018, and the Robert Ledingham Award at the IDIBC Shine Awards in 2022.
