DEAN MITCHELL

PROJECT COORDINATOR, TEAM LEAD

Dean’s main passion is to see the home renovation industry transformed for the better, by raising the bar at Canadian Renovations and through education to the homeowners.  Dean takes a hands-on approach, directing projects and working with clients; always with the goal of being the best service company in the home renovation industry.

He married a beautiful woman in 2011. The two now have a busy household, with their two year old daughter, and new baby girl. His interests have change in the last few years to hanging at the park, playground and going for bike rides and walks. He loves being a father and husband.

MONIKA BARBOSA

DESIGNER, DRAFTING TECHNICIAN

Monika completed her Bachelor Degree in Architecture & Urbanism while studying in Brasil, and obtained a BCIT Certificate in Building Design and Architectural CAD. Having over 15 years of experience, she has worked in many Residential Architecture Projects, and during the past 5 years specifically with Residential Renovation Projects in the Great Vancouver area.

For Monika, she loves being part of the big magic moment of transformation for the client. As the person to make a deep connection in order to understand their emotions, wishes, and style, and at the same time be the one to come up with new ideas to match their desires, this is a true joy for her.  As Canadian Renovations Design & Architect, her role is to think of the project as a whole, come up with the best possible design solution, and always consider how functionality, harmony, and style will blend together.

Outside of work she loves animals, spending time outdoors, and enjoying time with her family.
