This is why we strive to forge deep connections with our clients, so that we can gain a true understanding of your unique needs and bring your dreams to life.
Lisa Janzen
Owner/Designer
Lisa grew up helping her father build houses, and that early exposure to construction was instrumental in her developing a deep understanding of design in a three-dimensional space. After receiving a certificate from UFV in Architectural and Civil Drafting she spent seven years at an architectural design firm, first as a draftsperson and then as a junior designer. However, with her family’s artistic background and her own innate design sense, she realized that she needed to satisfy her creativity and challenge herself more. She became an Interior Designer, and now with her design training and technical drafting background combined with more than fifteen years of interior design experience she is excited to lead the talented KCID team.
Lindsay Mills
Senior Designer
Lindsay started out telling people she wanted to be an Interior Designer when she grew up because she always appreciated spaces that combined beauty and organization in a functional way. She earned a three-year diploma of interior design from the International Academy of Design & Technology. Not only does the profession satisfy her need for a serious challenge, but she also finds that it’s a career that really does help people. Lindsay’s favorite part of her job is building a relationship with a client to create a functional, tailored space unique to each person down to the last detail.
Karaline Siemens
Junior Designer
Karaline was intrinsically drawn to interior design from a young age when she would repeatedly rearrange her own bedroom to solve functional problems with space while making it more beautiful. As a student she was passionate about building and went to provincial-level competitions in millwork and joinery. She earned a certificate in interior design from BCIT and began working as a skilled labourer in the construction industry, which gave her hands-on experience with three-dimensional design, home construction and the design process. She likes being able to listen to clients about what they need and creating a beautiful and functional space that they’ll enjoy and appreciate for years to come.
Chalet Hegeman
Junior Designer
Would Chalet have been into home and interior design had her parents named her something else? We’ll never know. But she did grow up loving design and art and wanting to incorporate them into daily life. This desire to integrate art into function and experience led to her attending BCIT, where she attained a Residential Interiors Diploma. Chalet joined KCID in 2022, and every day she applies her passion for blending practicality with form. She believes design should be exciting and also useful. Helping clients find that balance as she brings their visions to life is one of her many strengths.
Jennien Venema
Office Manager/Bookkeeper
Jennien began working at KCID as a new mother with a diploma in Hospitality & Resort Management and a certificate in bookkeeping, bringing her extreme organization skills and adaptability to the team. She is one of the few people who loves creating spreadsheets and reports and gets a thrill from finding ways to simplify accounting procedures. She is a key part of providing KCID clients with quality service, and she fits in with the overwhelming creativity of the team by creating marketing materials and managing the company’s social media.
