ABOUT PATTI

 

Patti Lindsay is 61 years old, and studied Interior Design at Dawson College in Montreal from 1980-83. She worked part time for an architectural firm that closed, then for Jeff Brown Fabrics for a while. She left Quebec shortly after and moved to Toronto Ontario. There she married, and worked at the Bay buying offices in Linens, Bedding, Staples. She had 3 children, moved back to Montreal and became a single mom. She studied phys ed and began working in the Fitness Industry for the YMCA but continued to do Design and renovated and sold several houses. 

She taught an Interior Decorating course at John Abbott College at night as a moonlighting job for a few semesters when her children were young but continued as Director of Health, Fitness and Aquatics at the West Island YMCA for a steady income until they were through university. Before the pandemic, she moved to Ottawa and during the pandemic began doing design consultations by zoom for friends and family. That’s when she decided that it was time to get back to her first love, Interior Design and took a business course, started her company and began staging with a real estate agent in Ottawa. Then she found Rebecca, Vera and the amazing RHD team through social media! She recently started a new part time side job with a new Design Centre that is opening in Ottawa as she grows her own business and is in the process of creating an online course for new home buyers.
