​paola gavilanez

I was born and raised in Ecuador.

I moved to Canada in 2002.

I'm a registered interior designer (RID) with the Interior Designers Institute of BC (www.idibc.org)

and Interior Designers of Canada (www.idcanada.org).

I've been practicing design for over 18 years.

Projects in which I've worked include residential, commercial, hospitality and educational spaces.

I never work alone. Design is a team sport and I've always worked with a group of very talented professionals.

I am an interior design educator. www.kpu.ca/interiordesign

I am an NCIDQ certificate holder (www.ncidq.org), and a LEED AP ID+C (www.usgbc.org)..

I collect architectural miniatures.

I like to travel.

I like languages.

I don't take myself too seriously.
