Project Portfolio
This portfolio brings together a curated selection of interior design projects I have worked on in various roles over the past 19 years across a range of residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces. Each project represents a thoughtful balance of form and function—tailored to reflect the unique needs, lifestyles, and stories of the people who inhabit them.

Commercial Design
Light, airy finishes are complemented by the architectural detail of a wood truss ceiling, adding visual interest and emphasizing the beauty of the vaulted ceilings.
The layout prioritizes functionality while maintaining an open, inviting atmosphere. The space is finished with clean lines and neutral tones, creating a comfortable, motivating environment that encourages both fitness and relaxation.
The refreshed patio area of the southern country bar delivers a bold new identity while staying true to its rustic roots. Designed to be inviting, flexible, and full of personality, the space is transformed into a lively social hub that captures the spirit of southern hospitality with a touch of whimsy.

"Working with Ellis J Design was the best experience I have had. She designed my newly created ensuite in ways that I hadn’t realized I even wanted. Her layouts were amazing and the decor matched our tastes and style of our home. Joanne was so easy to work with as she was always considerate of our budget and created a spa like bathroom within our budget. She did an incredible job and has such a flare and eye for style and colour. I am so grateful for my new bathroom Joanne designed as it not only fits our needs and style but also has an elegance and sparkle that finishes it so perfectly."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beyond Exceptional!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Joanne on a full basement renovation, which included a stunning bar area, a cozy living room, and a beautifully designed washroom. From the very first consultation, she stood out with her attentiveness to our vision and needs. She took the time to truly understand our inspiration and translated it into a design that was not only functional but jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
Her professionalism and communication were outstanding throughout the entire project. She was proactive, always a step ahead, and kept us updated at every milestone. What truly amazed us was how she delivered everything on budget a rare and refreshing experience.
The end result far exceeded our expectations. Every detail reflected her incredible talent and dedication. We constantly get compliments on the space, and it wouldn’t have been possible without her expertise and eye for design.
If you're looking for a designer who listens, delivers, and elevates your space beyond imagination, look no further. We can't recommend her highly enough!
