Eve sees design differently, and she’s here to help you see it differently, too.
​​She believes in the power of great lighting, that re-do is better than new, and that a circular future makes more sense than a disposable one. ​But most of all, she believes your home should solve real problems—so that it works better for you.

"Beyond the surface of space and stuff are the values that drive our decisions and, ultimately, how we feel.​"

We don't just talk about our industry's waste, we founded a circular movement
to abolish it.
our origin story
In 2010, Eve became aware of the magnitude of material waste in the design industry, and took immediate action. Eve saw an opportunity to realign industry practices with holistic principles, collecting and redistributed discontinued materials to the arts & education community.
She landed a collection of up-cycled textile-based soft homewares, evelikesgreen, to bring attention to the value these precious materials have to offer. What started as a rescue mission evolved into a curated collection of locally-made, circular economy homewares. evelikesgreen gained recognition through DesignTO exhibits (2017-2018), gallery showings, and Doors Open Toronto.
For over a decade, these initiatives diverted more than 2.5 tonnes of material annually while supporting 20+ local organizations with vital resources. Through this social enterprise, Eve demonstrates her commitment to conscious design—proving that even the smallest piece of textile holds value and potential."
