Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“I am so happy to have Hani's help with our renovation. She has a keen eye to utilise dead spaces. Her design was very space efficient and modern. I would highly recommend to anyone to consult with an interior designer before a major renovation. My wife is very happy with the end result, and everyone knows that a happy wife means a happy life.”
“I had a very good experience with Hani. She is a very patient and knowledgeable person, extremely organized and energetic. She perfectly delivered all that I had in mind and provided valuable tips for my project, giving me as much time as she could. I am a very strict person, often asking many questions and paying close attention to details. Hani addressed all of my concerns and gave me the time I needed to feel at ease. I am very grateful. Thank you, Hani.”
“Ive just finished my renovation and couldn't be more pleased with the results. Hani did an outstanding job as the interior designer and project manager throughout the process. Working with her was a fantastic experience. Her determination, expertise in materials, and incredible ability to bring everything together exceeded our expectations. Initially, we were concerned about whether she could effectively collaborate with our contractor and his team, but Hani quickly proved us wrong. She maintained a professional, respectful, and harmonious relationship with everyone involved, ensuring the project ran smoothly. Her keen eye for detail and creative vision transformed our space into something special. I highly recommend Hani for any design project!”
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Hani Design, including the highlights above. The 50 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Not a good experience working with Hani. Disadvantages: Unprofessional (Asks nationality and age) Lack of practical experience. Focused only on designing. Execution and cost estimation skills are missing. Doesn't give price estimation and wants 50% money before starting the project. Works on some part of the project by fixed price and some part of project by hourly rate. She doesn't say her hourly rate on call (250 cad/hour) before initial consultation which she charges 500 cad to come to your house and show her project pictures which are already on her website. Doesn't bring measuring device to measure the space and draw layout on initial consultation. Lack of ideas.

About
About: HANI is a designer based in Toronto. She co-founded her studio back home in 2003, where she earned her master's degree in architecture and practiced as a licensed architect. Her career path led her to Toronto, where she obtained a Bachelor of Interior Design with honors. Returning to school after many years of teaching architecture as a professor back home, she demonstrated an unwavering commitment to continuous learning and a strong desire to stay updated. However, her experience with remarkable projects and exposure to a wide range of materials and advanced technologies in Toronto prompted her to shift her career focus toward interior design and detailing. Hani received the Gery Hewson Memorial Award from ARIDO in 2020, highlighting her excellence in the field. With a deep commitment to the community, she served as the Career Xpress Committee Ambassador for ARIDO in 2021. Currently, she contributes as a member of the task force at ARIDO in 2023."

Your own checks
What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
