People

Jamie Deck

Creative Director, DID

Jamie, like most creatives, has always had a natural inclination towards all things art. Influenced by the philosophy of "Less is more" and the simple, natural way of life of a seasoned yogi, Jamie strives to create spaces and relationships that communicate through simplicity and transparency. She sees the universality of clean lines and defined volumes with a certain democratic value to it and her practice is all about that, it’s about telling a story without having to speak out.

Being a creative director is just one of the titles she holds to fully immerse herself in the arts. But she is also fully devoted to her daughter, who is as a constant reminder to live life to the fullest. Her strongest asset? Her intuition and optimism. Which has led her to build Shift and the culture behind it, one of integrity, debate, constant curiosity, and creativity.

Miguel Lopez de Lara

Operations & Admin

Miguel is constantly defying the laws of gravity to balance his life and work. He passes on his immense knowledge of the ancient and complex philosophy of yoga while also mastering the analysis, logistics, and operations area at Shift.

During his previous experience in the hospitality world travelling to different places and experiencing other cultures, Miguel grew to understand, appreciate, and admire the complications and intricacies the area of customer care encompasses.

Kelsey Whettell

Interior Designer, DID

From an early age, Kelsey's exposure to the interplay between the built environment and the human experience of daily life, as well as the richness of material culture, has driven her to create spaces that merge her passion for the mountains and the West Coast forest, with the art of refining the human experience through simple details. Her positive outlook, creativity, and unwavering persistence to reach her goals, have led her to the development of multiple award-winning projects.

Kelsey is often spotted in the great outdoors, snowboarding, hiking and enjoying music festivals. Her personal style? Edgy, but classy, but also outdoorsy.

Sarah Badin

Interior Designer, CID

For Sarah, design transcends the realm of mere aesthetics; she describes it as a kaleidoscope of volumes, forms, and colours—an exquisite medium of expression that evokes emotions.

Hailing all the way from Paris and having been exposed to a diverse range of cultures and art forms in Vancouver, Sarah knows how to fearlessly incorporate unconventional elements into her designs, infusing them with the delightful quirkiness that challenges the status quo.

In quiet times, Sarah cherishes the company of a classic glass of wine and visits to art exhibitions. Yet, her ultimate source of happiness and ally is undoubtedly her daughter Margaux—a companion who shares her appreciation for the wonders of life, with the exception of the occasional indulgence in wine, naturally.

Florencia Munaretto

Interior Designer, DID

In a nutshell, Florencia is a creative. Whether that’s creating an experiential space for a family, leading core content development, or art directing situations, Flo is building intricate and creative storytelling across different platforms at Shift.

Infused with the rich cultural heritage of Argentina and Brazil, she is influenced by Modernist teachings and principles along with ancient thought and practices which understand craft and accumulated knowledge as an intrinsic part of the human heritage. Her personal philosophy? life is too short, and it’s important to do the things you fancy, like going wine tasting (it’s proven to be essential to people’s happiness and productivity) and exploring new places with the people you love, like her dog and fiancée.
