Ke Design Collective Inc.

We engaged Ke Design to completely gut and redesign our basement space. While I had remodeled some other spaces in the home myself, the basement was long, narrow and awkward, not to mention the plumbing and electrical complexity. I really wanted to make the most of the space but on a budget. We couldn’t have done it without Ke! It was so worth the investment to have Ketty design the space! We saved money and space with her creative thinking and her project management skills! I highly recommend the full service design tip to tail especially if you’re working on a budget! You’ll end up with a space that looks and feels more than you invested! (Ng Family)

Ke Design were (pardon the pun) key in the design for our basement renovation. Ketty and Jerry were professional, easy to work with and best of all very responsive to communication. All my questions and concerns were consistently met with helpful responses in a timely manner. We could not have completed our renovation without them and are thrilled with the results.

We used Ke Design Collective this summer for a complete remodel of our family bathroom. We hired them for both design and project management and couldn't be happier about our decision to do so. Between moving homes and welcoming and a new baby we were completely overwhelmed by the thought of making so many decisions and had no idea where to begin. Ketty and Jerry asked many questions and really helped us define our style for the project. They stayed mindful of our must-haves and our budget when putting together the initial design proposals. We were so impressed with their eye for detail and ability to design a space that was both beautiful and functional for a family of 4 (with two young kids). Even though we faced some unexpected delays with the vanity, Ke Design collective made sure we had access to the tub/shower so we could give the kids' baths in the meantime. We used their recommended contractor (Remodel Renovation) which was a huge advantage because the communication was seamless and the contractor understands their vision. Above all, Ketty and Jerry are just all around wonderful people. You can tell how much they enjoy the work they do and their clients. Highly recommended them and we can't wait to work with them again on a future project!

No complaints about Ketty and her team at KE Design. Very professional, well organized and ontop of all matters for our project. Very responsive to our questions and provides timely responses and feedback. She was able to take our preferences and style and transform that into a beautiful design plan. Will definitely use KE Design again in the future for other projects. Thank you KE Design!

Ke Dedign has transformed the spare bedroom to become the home office & zen space that I envisioned. We love the wall color and furniture choices that Ketty and her team recommended so much. Our family will definitely reach out to both Ketty and Jerry for our future home makeover projects again.

Hiring Ketty was the best decision we made in our kitchen renovation. From the first meeting we felt incredibly comfortable with her. She brings a fantastic design sense but always listened closely to what we were looking for and brought that into the design. The kitchen is exactly what we wanted and better than we could have imagined. Her project management service was impeccable. She is an extremely hard worker and made everything easy for us. Her contractor was fantastic. The project finished on budget and significantly ahead of schedule. We have already referred friends to Ketty and will absolutely be hiring her for all of our future home projects.

My wife and I had wanted to renovate two of our bathrooms, but waited until we found a designer and contractor that checked all of our boxes in terms of style, communication, attention to detail, and budget. We came across Ke Design Collective on Instagram and followed them for a few months before reaching out. We really liked the range in their posts, from their aesthetic to their explanation of the different choices one can make in their renovations. Their content was very educational and they separated themselves from many other interior design companies on social media. After our first meeting with Ketty, we felt comfortable working with her in coming up with our dream washrooms. Ketty listened carefully to what we needed, asked us lots of questions to understand what our style is, and incorporated what she learned about us into our project. When we were presented with a few design options, we were very happy with everything we saw. It was hard picking just one option to go forward with! Ketty’s drawings are extremely detailed and gave us comfort in knowing that the contractors had the measurements they needed. When it came to selecting products and fixtures, Ketty was very good at helping us stay within the budget we gave her. Even with a somewhat conservative budget, Ketty was still able to select very nice pieces that helped our bathroom look stylish and be functional at the same time. Her extensive list of trade discounts also gave us lots of options. Remodel Renovations (RR) was the contracting company that executed the work. They were contractors that Ketty regularly worked with and from the beginning this was evident. They were in constant communication to make sure everyone was on the same page. Ketty and RR also have a network of trades people that specialize in millwork and countertops. These people often work with each other and it helped make communication between them pretty seamless. RR are clearly very experienced and skilled in their craft. They often explained to us what they needed to do, why they did it that way, and kept our home very clean at the end of everyday. We would happily have RR work on our home in the future. Overall, Ketty was instrumental in helping our projects come to life. Not only is she a skilled designer, her project management skills helped the project go smoothly. She was very responsive to our questions throughout the project and often visited our home during the construction to make sure things were going well. By the end of the project, it felt like we had been working with good friends. Ketty and Jerry are a pleasure to work with and we always enjoyed chatting with them. We’re super happy with our new bathrooms and we’ve received so many compliments from friends and colleagues! We will definitely reach out to them again in the future for our next big project.

We have been toying with the idea of renovating our house for at least 3 years, but with our hectic schedules, nothing has been done until our friends mentioned Ketty to us. With some vague ideas of what we want in each space/room, we decided to take a leap and asked Ketty for help. Boy, are we glad that we contacted her, and the rest is history. Ketty, Jerry and their team transformed our old, outdated place into the house of our dreams. The entire house is now open, spacious, modern and in style. Families and friends who came to visit had their jaws dropped and in awe of all the details of the design and renovation. From the initial design boards, fine tuning the details, sending over a 3D video so that we could visualize the space better, to sourcing all the materials, hardware, and furniture, Ketty and Jerry were with us every step of the way. They always went the extra mile to show us what works and what doesn’t. Their attention to details and commitment to our project made the entire process stress free for us. Even though there were some hiccups during the renovation, or items being delayed due to the pandemic, they handled them with ease and always had several solutions on hand to present to us. Ketty is very talented, she opens our eyes with ideas that we never think of. She always kept us in line with our budget, and kept us in the loop of the entire process. She responded to our gazillion emails, texts, and concerns in a timely manner and eased our anxiety away. Their entire team (including their top-notch contractors) are extremely professional, punctual and transparent. Ketty and Jerry communicate with their contractors well and they have a great chemistry working together. They are very adaptive and will find ways to overcome obstacles in order to achieve the best result. When they found out a supposingly load bearing pole was actually a decorative element, Ketty and her team worked around the clock to come up with a whole new design board with different options for this newly discovered space. We are pleased with this newly founded space, but more pleased and appreciated that we have Ketty and her team around in this project. That’s why we have already asked Ketty to help us out with our basement design and renovation half way through the project! We considered ourselves lucky to be able to find Ke Design Collective to help us out in this whole house renovation, we highly recommend them to anyone who’s interested in having their space redesigned!

If there was an option to give another star, we would. We found Ketty on Instagram and are so glad we did -- she has become such a valued partner in our home reno. Our design style was all over the map when we started working with Ketty but she was able to come up with a cohesive vision and execute on that -- quickly and effectively. She's super professional and responsive, and gives honest feedback, which we really appreciated. We also loved her creative ideas, and her industry connections, which helped make the whole process super efficient. If we renovate another home, Ketty will be the first person we call. And in the meantime, we'll be recommending her to everyone we know. Thank you so much, Ketty!!!!!

When looking for a designer to help us with a fairly extensive remodel of our basement and main floor bathroom, we interviewed with several firms. As soon as we met Ketty and Jerry it was very clear their approach, expertise and design aesthetic was steps above anyone we had met with! Now looking at our completed project, we realized the Ke Design team exceeded our original expectations significantly in many areas, and we are extremely happy with the final result! A few things to note about what made the Ke Design team really stand out: 1. Ketty and Jerry are just wonderful people. Great to work with, super organized and very focused on bringing the best results they can for their clients. This was exemplified in every interaction, from the initial design consultations, to material selections, to the ongoing project management as the renovation work commenced. Incredible attention to detail and organization was apparent across all of these phases of the project. Small issues were resolved quickly and without stress, design changes necessitated by the existing structure were communicated clearly and aligned to the original vision very effectively, and Ketty and Jerry did a phenomenal job of keeping the project on track, on budget, looking great, and stress free! 2. Design skill. Simply put, Ketty is a very, very skilled designer. Excellent aesthetic approach, combined with very strong construction knowledge allowed her to create a vision for our home that looks amazing, but was also cost effective and well designed for longevity. Great eye for color, balance, lighting and composition which was apparent from the first set of design sketches we received. 3. They know their supplier space extremely well. Every single material supplier recommended was top notch, with excellent selection, product quality and service, despite all the global supply chain challenges ongoing during our project. Not only were the suppliers superb, but Ketty and team made the material selection process very straightforward, simple and kept us aligned to the original design vision very effectively. 4. Contractor and trades selection – Firstly, the coordination and collaboration between Ketty and the contractor team was phenomenal, they worked very effectively as a team to deliver the project. Every detail and aspect of the design was reflected in the final result (Sometimes even better than envisioned when the team thought of a new way to solve a specific design challenge in a smart way!) Secondly the work quality, attention to detail and overall work ethic of the contractor team was incredible. Always on time, superb workmanship on some very challenging design features, we are incredibly pleased with the final result. Overall, we could not be happier with our project from Ke Design, it was a great experience from start to finish and we recommend Ke Design unreservedly, they rock!!

There really aren't enough words to describe the amazing experience we had with Ketty and Jerry of Ke Design Collective! It was our first time hiring an interior design firm, and so we had no idea what to expect, and frankly were a bit nervous! But all the uncertainties were washed away from the first phone call and correspondence we had with them. Not only were Ketty and Jerry extremely professional, but also very kind and friendly. Over the course of the 6-8 months we worked with them, we were impressed by several things: 1) their punctuality with meetings and correspondence. Ketty was always prompt with responding to our endless emails, texts, questions, concerns, and decision changes. She never made us feel badly for asking that 'last' question(s); 2) her designs. This might be one of the most important reasons one hires a designer. Ketty was able to take our vision and really translate that to something beautiful in real life; 3) resourcefulness. As with many other renovations, ours was affected by the supply chain shortage and delays. But Ketty was very resourceful in finding alternatives that still fit wonderfully with our vision, and she's very good at finding budget friendly options 4) ability to work with other tradesmen - we went the untraditional route of hiring separate contractors from those that Ke Design Collective typically works with. Our contractors could not have been more impressed with Ketty and Jerry, their work ethic, and their ability to work around unexpected changes and surprises that always occur during renovations. Overall, we can't speak more highly of Ketty and Jerry. We would recommend them again and again for any sized project. You will not be disappointed!

We worked with Ke Design Collective for our kitchen/dining room renovations. This was our first experience with renovations, and we're so glad we found Ketty and her team! Ketty fully understood what we were looking for and also helped expand our vision beyond our initial imagination. She was able quickly pivot to navigate us through some surprises along the way, and it was clear she really cared about her work and clients. Would definitely recommend!
