Episode Synopsis

In episode 103 of The Calgary Sessions, I chat with Paul Lavoie, an acclaimed interior designer in Calgary with a career spanning 38 years. We explore his childhood interest in floor plans, his growth under his father's guidance in construction, and his evolution from a shy kid to a seasoned professional. Paul's unconventional path from considering law to fully embracing interior design, and his adaptation to the industry's shift from the analog to the digital age, underscore his creative resilience. Starting his own business marked a significant turn in his journey, driven by client support and organic growth, culminating in a feature in Architectural Digest in 2001.

This episode delves into the importance of mentorship, the evolution of Calgary's design scene, and the role of community in nurturing personal and professional development. Join us to hear Paul's inspiring story of passion, mentorship, and the continuous evolution of creativity in interior design.
