Amy is the first person clients meet at Urbacity and is the trusted advisor for homeowners; helping them move from that very first call, through design and development, and always remaining invested through construction. With 18 years in the industry, she loves the problem-solving side of her work; taking a renovation challenge and helping find the best solution for each client’s unique needs, style, and budget. Her advice: trust your designer. Once the decisions are made, resist the urge to keep scrolling Pinterest or watching design shows for new ideas, second-guessing and mid-construction changes can add cost and cause delays.

At home, Amy’s favourite spot is her curled up on the couch with a cozy blanket, a good book and her two fur babies by her side. Most summer weekends, you’ll find her racing around the St Lawrence on sea doos, long trail walks or biking on the parkway. A fun fact: she has played hockey most of her life and is still actively engaged in a ladies competitive league. What she loves most about Urbacity is how well everyone gets along and how the team always finds ways to have fun while getting the job done.
