“Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple that is why it is so complicated.”

Jillian Summers
Jillian Summers is a multi-award winning designer and home stager whose passion and years of experience is reflected in the beautiful surroundings she creates for her clients every day. But her career didn’t start out in the design world. She actually came from the corporate world of life insurance! She grew up looking at houses with her parents (she credits her mom for sparking her love for all things design) and she always loved to talk aesthetics and make everything beautiful. To this day she still tries to infuse pink into as much of her life as she can.
So one day, while still working in the corporate world, Jillian was having a discussion with her son about what he wanted to be when he grew up. The advice she gave to him really resonated with her, “I told him as long as he loved what he chose to do, whatever that was, he would be successful.” A lightbulb went off for her and it was at that moment she decided to leave the safety of her full-time job and start her business. “I was a single mom with no money at the time and it was the best decision I ever made!”
And clearly it was the right one because she now gets to do the job she loves and share her passions with the world through her show Your Home with Jillian Summers and as the designer for the Dream Lottery benefiting London hospitals. She also uses her platform to host a fundraiser gala in support of Alzheimer’s, a cause near and dear to her heart as her father passed away from the disease.
When she’s not busy creating beautiful spaces, you can find Jillian spending time with those that mean the most to her, her family and friends and her adorable pup Gucci.
With several locations in Canada as well as one in the Cayman Islands Jillians has a dream to help homeowners all over the world, and it is beginning to come to fruition! xx
Now with two new loactions operating in Kelowna BC and Grand Cayman Islands!

Shelby Greidanus
Design Manager, Upstaging Limited
Shelby Greidanus is an Interior Decorator with a passion for transforming spaces into beautifully functional works of art. I graduated from Fanshawe College in 2021 and have been immersed in the design industry ever since. In August 2024, I joined the talented team at Upstaging Limited, where I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to both staging projects and design initiatives. During my time in the industry, I’ve gained valuable experience working on custom home designs and finishing selections, which has led me to step into a more front-facing role on the Design Team.
With a strong background in residential design and a love for creating personalized environments, I’m excited to take on new challenges and collaborate with clients and home builders alike to bring their visions to life. Outside of work, I grew up on a farm in Huron County, where my love for nature, cooking, and all things design-related began. Whether it's experimenting with new recipes or finding inspiration in the outdoors, my creativity flows best when I’m connecting with my surroundings.
