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."

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire an architect _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - 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. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. - Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule. --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/hani-design Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
