Our fusion of wide-ranging creativity and meticulous attention to detail ensures that every interior we design is not just a space, but a collaborative statement of functional artistry and individual expression.
Who we are
At Compass Design Co. we believe that every space tells a story, and our team is dedicated to bringing these stories to life through innovative and personalized design. Our talented group of interior designers and support staff unite a wealth of experience with a shared passion for transforming environments.
At Compass Design Co. we blend creativity and precision to transform spaces across both residential and commercial sectors. Our residential design services cater to those looking to create a sanctuary that reflects their personal style and functional needs.
While we keep the wild creativity and inspiration bursts behind the scenes, we offer our Clients a distinctive linear approach to the design process. We begin with a deep-dive into Programming, then - armed with the context of our Clients’ wishes, requirement, thoughts and budget - we set off into Schematic Design. The design is further refined based on feedback and we delve into thorough Design Development and Presentation Meetings. Once the design is approved, a detailed Working Drawings + Specifications package is prepared and issued for review, pricing, permit and construction.

We hired Aleks and Compass Design Co for a major house reno. We were super happy with the process, and the result. Aleks is extremely thorough and put a lot of thought into the design. We asked a lot of what is a small space - and she found a way to make it happen that is already working so much better for us (in addition to looking amazing). The contractors were impressed with the detail of her design plans, which made it much more straightforward for them to do the work. Aleks and her team were available for the entire process, and stepped up when we needed more input towards the end. I wouldn't hesitate to hire a designer for a project as the result was so much better and the process much more efficient than anything we could have done ourselves...and I would 100% recommend Aleks and the Compass Design Co team.

Aleks is a true professional. We engaged Aleks as the architect for our whole home renovation in Canmore. She selected all of the finishes, prepared plans and specifications and collaborated with us throughout the project. She was patient with all our questions and accommodating when we chose to make changes. We highly recommend Aleks and Compass Design Co.

Aleks redesigned our home after a house fire. She immediately got our vision for the rebuild, chose beautiful finishes, and thought of amazing redesigns ideas that we hadn’t even considered (but loved!). She worked so well with our builder to recreate our dream home, which was a blend of mountain rustic, but dialed to be functional for an active family with lots of mountain gear. Would highly recommend!

It was an absolute delight working with Aleks. Her creativity and style brought our vision to life. Never could we have imagined our renovation which included a complete teardown for a new entry way, mud room, laundry, bathroom, office and guest bedroom going as smoothly as it did and it all started with Aleks. She listened to our wants and needs, problem solved for our concerns, and ultimately transformed our house into a modern, functional space. My wife and I are extremely satisfied and highly recommend Compass Designs.

Exceptional Design Services Working with Aleks from Compass Design Co. has been an extraordinary experience. Her diligence in melding all areas of the 3 specialties (Physiotherapy, Sport Medicine, and Orthopedic) needs and requirements into the design of the space capitalizes on the functionality and amazing natural light and views offered in the clinic. Throughout the design process, she was great at offering creative ideas and yet was always keeping the functionality requirements of the space at the forefront of her design.

Aleks is amazing to work with. She has great design ideas and chooses beautiful finishes. I believe what really sets Aleks apart is her ability to see and redesign a space. Aleks took my outdated master bath and ensuite closet area and totally redesigned the space. Our old bathroom had a small shower, corner jetted tub and a curved wall in the storage area. With the new design from Aleks, we have a beautiful large shower with a curved feature wall and a freestanding tub, all without losing any functional space for the closet or linen storage. Our new master bath is not only beautiful, but way more functional as well. The general contractors on the job were amazed by her attention to detail in her plans which also provides for a smoother renovation. I would work with Aleks again on any project, large or small. - Noreen Conway

I had big dreams for a complete renovation of our home and Aleks and Compass Design took our abstract thoughts and helped transform them into a reality that far exceeds what we ever imagined. Aleks was innovative, creative, and caring and helped guide our renovation from start to finish. I'm confident that choosing Compass Design was the best decision I made in our renovation project.

My husband and I hired Aleks to help us with the design through the construction of our new home and could not be more thrilled. She was very patient and caring with helping guide us through selecting the right materials and look for our new home and made the process painless. Her inspiration and knowledge is immense. Then we had her help with the interior furniture and gave her a budget. She was spot on with both budget and style and we are so happy with the result.
