Meet Giselle
A jack of many trades and a master of each as well, Giselle is well-versed in the design and architecture areas. She specializes in creating cozy and inviting home design that is both attractive and functional. I love taking a client’s existing décor and rearranging and adding accessories or soft furnishings. This in itself can create an entirely new look and feel to a room. Giselle’s philosophy: “You have to start somewhere, and from there your dreams come true.”
From a young age, Giselle was exposed to well rounded creativity through her mother, who bought and renovated homes, and her father who designed and built mahogany and rattan furniture. She then moved to Canada where she completed a course in ceramics and returned to Barbados to open a ceramic studio teaching students how to paint, glaze and create. In 1989 she returned to Toronto, Canada, with her son and completed an Interior Designing course at the International Academy of Fashion and Merchandise. Upon returning to Barbados, Giselle then went into business with her mother and opened a flower shop. She would eventually delve into wedding coordination and the importation of Christmas decorations of which she sold to and decorated private homes and businesses. In 2004, following her passions, dreams and desires, Giselle started her own design and renovation management business: GNR Interiors. The business is one she truly enjoys and also shows a bright and hopeful future.
