Clare Mackey
AAA LID | MRAIC | IDA | NCIDQ Certificate No. 28763
Principal, Licensed Interior DesignerWith a unified approach to interior - exterior relationships, Clare’s holistic methods have transformed spaces into purposeful environments for over 20 years. Integrating both her love of interior design and architecture, Mackey spaces are designed with intent, with the client in mind every time, all the time.
After studying Interior Design at the Academy of Design in Montreal, she continued her education at Dalhousie University (TUNS) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she received a Bachelor of Environmental Design Studies and a Masters of Architecture.
Since that time, Clare’s career has allowed her to build a strong and comprehensive level of experience. From Senior Lead Interior Designer to Project Manager to Intern Architect to Educator and Mentor, she’s learned the ropes. She has worked in on-site construction, commercial corporate environments, retail and hospitality design, education, healthcare, and most recently – luxury residential architecture and interiors.
Clare and her team’s dedication, experience, and creativity has landed them 4 MASI design awards and a finalist spot in Gray Magazine.
When she’s not designing, you’ll find Clare at a local art gallery, snapping photos of the scenery with her family, or sketching out new ideas.
