Corporate Facility Renovation
A seating area within a larger renovation of an operating production facility. My role included project management, space planning, construction coordination, and phased work around ongoing operations.
Completed with John Bradley Construction.
Canary Design helps people understand, plan, and improve real spaces. I offer layout help, finish direction, tenant improvement design support, permit-plan coordination, sensitive space review, and construction support.
For when the room started it, the client can’t explain it, and someone needs to make the project make sense.
Known power: walking into a space and immediately noticing why everyone feels weird.
Making Space Make Sense
Remodel planning, space planning, and design support for homes and small businesses in Elk River, Minnesota, and surrounding communities.
Design Help for Real Spaces
Canary Design helps with layout problems, finish decisions, tenant improvement planning, permit-plan coordination, sensitive space review, and construction support. I work with homeowners, small businesses, clinics, builders, and project teams who need clear next steps for real spaces.
How Canary Design Helps
Have a room that isn’t working—or a design decision you keep putting off? Get a fresh set of experienced eyes before you spend more money.
The $125 Space Clarity Review provides practical design guidance for one room or one focused question in your home or small business.
Good for:
• Furniture placement and awkward room layouts
• Choosing between paint, flooring, tile, or finish options
• Identifying a starting point for a room refresh or remodel
What you receive:
A written review explaining what I notice, my recommendations, and your next steps. Includes one follow-up email for clarification.
How it works:
After purchasing, email beth@canarydesignmn.com with your order number, up to five photos, and a short description of your question. Include any measurements, plans, or finish options relevant to your question.
Need help soon? Email beth@canarydesignmn.com with a brief description of your question and your preferred deadline. I’ll confirm availability and turnaround before you purchase.
This is a remote review. Live consultations, drawings, shopping lists, and permit or code reviews are quoted separately.
Before you commit to a remodel or a new business space, let’s talk through what you need, what could work, and what to investigate next.
This $195 consultation includes a 45–60 minute video conversation focused on an early project idea, a layout, or a defined set of questions about your home or small business.
Good starting points include:
• Planning a basement remodel or rethinking how rooms connect
• Reviewing an existing or proposed floor plan for function, circulation, and everyday use
• Exploring whether a potential office, clinic, or retail space could suit your needs
• Organizing project priorities and questions before meeting with contractors
• Understanding which next steps may require drawings, field measurements, or specialist involvement
We’ll use your photos, sketches, or existing plans to discuss possibilities, identify questions that need further investigation, and establish practical next steps.
Finish and material questions are welcome, too, when they’re part of the larger project.
Before purchasing:
Email beth@canarydesignmn.com with a brief description of your project and your preferred meeting times. We’ll confirm the scope and appointment time before you purchase.
After we confirm:
Purchase your consultation and email relevant photos or plans before our meeting. I’ll send you a video meeting link.
This is an initial planning conversation. Measured drawings, formal feasibility studies, code analysis, structural evaluation, permit documents, and written reports are separate services. Projects requiring licensed professionals are coordinated accordingly.

Design That Understands the Room
Canary Design is built around a simple idea: spaces affect people.
A room can confuse a project, drain energy, create friction, or make daily life harder than it needs to be. I help identify what the space is doing, what the people actually need, and what decisions will make the project clearer, calmer, and more buildable.
