The Aspen & Ivy Story
Led by designer Catherine Staples, a visionary whose journey is as inspiring as the spaces she creates, our design firm brings together a collective of talent and experience in managing complex constructions and curating luxury interior designs that are inspired by their individual landscapes.
Why Aspen & Ivy? The name Aspen stems from Catherine's love of travel and many fond memories at her favourite ski destination, Aspen Snowmass. Ivy, like us, represents longevity, prosperity, and a wealth of continuous growth.
By approaching interior design with a business-centered mindset, Catherine and her team ensure that every design not only meets the client's aesthetic and functional needs but also aligns with their broader goals. This approach involves meticulous planning, budgeting, and project management to ensure that each aspect of the design contributes to the client's overall objectives.
Aspen & Ivy is committed to excellence, innovation, and client-centric design. Our process begins with inspiration drawn from the unique geographical context of each home and the specific design preferences of our clients. Whether it's a sleek modern aesthetic or a timeless traditional charm, we customize our designs to match. From overseeing complex construction projects to sourcing luxury furnishings, our process ensures a design tailored to each client's unique vision and lifestyle.
“My experience with Catherine Staples and her team was more than I could hope for. From a business perspective, everyone was structured, organized, and armed with an amazing ability to pay attention to detail. From a personal perspective, everyone was friendly, open, and patient with all of my reno questions and/or concerns. For that, I am grateful.”
