Andria Cowan Molyneaux

Founder/Principal

Clients are often surprised to learn that decorating & design is my second career—a long-time passion pursued after years of working as a police officer. To me, it’s been a natural progression. Because of my experience, I opened ACM Designs with total clarity about what I want to offer you as a client: happiness in your new beautiful space, and a great experience creating it. There are so many things that go into making this happen: how we treat you as a client, collaborations with local craftspeople, pursuing multiple certifications and licenses, and our involvement with the Decorators & Designers Association of Canada, just to name a few.
