About Us

“Chop wood, carry water.”

Rowan James Design is rooted in the principle of presence. How you do anything is how you do everything. By giving each task our full attention and approaching our work with care and gratitude, we believe even the smallest actions can contribute to something greater.

The Power of Design

Interior design gives us the tools and opportunities to live the lives we dream of. We believe that creating harmony in the home can have a profound effect on our well-being, our relationships, and the way we live every day.

Passionate about organization, planning, and functionality, Rowan James is equally drawn to luxurious materials, creative colour, and playful finishes. Above all, he loves outstanding design, regardless of style.

Originally from New Zealand, Rowan has called Montréal home since 2010. Before establishing Rowan James Design, he worked as a creative partner and studio manager alongside artist Renée Condo.

His approach to design is informed by extensive travel throughout Asia and around the world, alongside a lifelong engagement with art, yoga and meditation, martial arts, and the natural world.

Let’s talk about your home, your vision, and the life you want to create.
