## About
We are a residential design and landscape design firm offering design & project management services to homeowners that are looking to make their lives at home feel effortless while investing in healthy design solutions and materials that will last generations. Oh ya, we also create beautiful spaces to help you get inspired to spread joy to those around you. 'Empowering people with the ability to invest wisely into their homes while uplifting their communities and the environment with beautiful low impact designs.' I am Chantelle Hamilton, the founder of Lichen + Stone in Ottawa, Canada. I have always been passionate about taking care of people and the planet. Originally, I studied Biology to become an expert about our planet and all who reside on it. However, I was missing the people side of things and was feeling a little confined to a lab. After searching for a career that combined my passions and strengths of science, art and drama, I discovered that Interior Design was my calling and returned to school to get my BAA Interior Design. After, working as a designer and project director with various companies for over a decade, I established Lichen + Stone in 2022. I love working with my clients and helping them discover solutions for their home that will elevate their lifestyles. It is humbling to help clients make good decisions for the planet while they shape a home that speaks to them. Lichen + Stone creates beautiful uplifting spaces that infuse calm and clarity into your day, allowing you to focus your energy where you want it to be. When home feels easy, we have more space in our lives to do good for the world.

## Before you hire an interior designer
_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.
