Meet the Designer: Jamie Deck

Founded by Jamie Deck, Shift Interiors is a Vancouver-based interior design studio led by a philosophy of restraint, clarity, and quiet intention. As Principal and Creative Director, Jamie approaches each project through the lens of simplicity—drawing from a “less is more” mindset and a deep respect for natural living. Her work is defined by clean lines, considered volumes, and an intuitive understanding of how space communicates without excess. Rooted in transparency, integrity, and curiosity, Shift Interiors operates as both a design practice and a cultural framework—one shaped by optimism, thoughtful debate, and a belief that meaningful environments emerge when story, function, and feeling align.

About the Project

In this episode of Design Unlocked, Jamie Deck reflects on a family home shaped around emotion rather than aesthetics alone. The project centers on creating a sense of sanctuary—balancing openness with the ability to retreat, and activity with calm. Rooted in nature and designed to adapt as a family shifts and grows, the home prioritizes how it feels to live in—calm, connected, and restorative.

Feeling Before Form

Every decision in this home begins with how it’s meant to feel. Calm, ease, and emotional clarity guide the design, allowing form and material to follow intention rather than dictate it. The result is a space that feels considered without ever feeling forced.

A Sanctuary that Evolves

Designed to support family life as it shifts and grows, the home balances openness with the ability to retreat. Spaces are multipurpose and connected, offering both visibility and quiet when needed. It’s a framework built for daily life.

Nature Carried Through

Natural light, wood, and tactile materials ground the interiors in their surrounding landscape. Rather than referencing nature symbolically, the design brings it inward—creating rooms that feel restorative, warm, and quietly immersive. The home settles into its environment instead of competing with it.
