Spaces Designed Around You
A Vancouver interior design studio creating expressive residential, commercial, and exhibit spaces.
Creative Shift Studio creates expressive interiors shaped by bold colour, layered materials, and thoughtful detail. From residential and commercial spaces to curated exhibits, the studio approaches each project as a story waiting to be revealed — balancing creativity, function, and a sense of harmony.
With a design philosophy rooted in curiosity and creative risk-taking, Creative Shift Studio explores unexpected combinations that feel distinctive yet timeless. Each environment is designed to reflect the people who inhabit it, translating personality, purpose, and vision into spaces that feel welcoming, refined, and deeply personal.
Beyond aesthetics, the studio believes great design is built through collaboration and communication. By bridging ideas between client, designer, and builder, Creative Shift Studio transforms creative concepts into thoughtfully realized spaces with integrity and presence.
Founder and principal designer, Julie Miller, has spent over fifteen years designing interiors that honour both architecture and individuality. Her experience spans hospitality, high-end residential, and boutique multi-family developments, bringing together conceptual creativity and technical expertise in equal measure.
Known for her bold use of colour, playful materiality, and carefully considered details, Julie creates spaces that feel layered, personal, and unexpected. Her work is informed in part by Scandinavian simplicity, balanced with a love of experimentation and expressive composition.
At the heart of Julie’s process is the belief that design should tell a story — one that unfolds through texture, pattern, light, and the details people discover over time.
Outside the studio, Julie is co-founder of Designer Happy Hour, an independent gathering for professionals in the design community, and brings the same discipline and artistry to dance as she does to interiors.
