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.

About
LCI Design is a North Shore Vancouver-based design practice specializing in residential projects from a new build to renovation. Desiree graduated with a Master of Architecture from the University of British Columbia in 1998. She has gained experienced after working for a number of notable firms on a wide range of projects from small to large scale residential, non-profit multiple housing, special needs housing, commercial and institutional. From the design of a renovation to the construction of a single family home, I work with clients to create spaces that reflect the needs and desires of the client. I assist clients with all the decisions so their home reflects their personality, lifestyle and budget. From a young age I have been passionate about design in all it's aspects of colour, texture, scale and composition. My motivation is to bring beauty and function into client's lives to enjoy everyday.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
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.
Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemized quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
