For as long as Steph can remember, she has always loved interior design and decorating. Despite having this passion, she never thought she would actually make a career out of it. After pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Business and Psychology, she was still feeling unsatisfied in her career path. She decided to take a chance and continue her education by achieving her Interior Decorating Diploma. It ended up being the best decision she could make. Steph has been with the Staged for Upsell team for over 3 years, primarily focused in residential design. Steph loves working with clients to create spaces that are both functional and beautiful for their lifestyle! She believes there’s a big difference between simply making a house look good, and making it feel like a home.

Mackenzie specializes in space planning, drafting and detailed construction drawings. She loves to work on projects where she can maximize a client’s space to fit all their wants and needs in addition to making the space functional and aesthetically pleasing. She is also currently working towards obtaining her NCIDQ to become a Registered Interior Designer.
Dana started her career in the communications industry as a Sign Language Interpreter in Toronto, Ontario. After stepping away from work to raise her family and making a move to the east coast she felt it was time to make a career change. After numerous requests from friends to help decorate, she started renovating and flipping houses with her contractor husband.
