My name is Elaine Sommerville and my passion has always been renovating and design. Even at 10 years old I would rake the leaves in the park into outlines of floor plans. I would always assign a certain room to each one of our family members of the home. Like all eight of us!

My career in design started after a contract ended with the federal government. I went from sorting and babysitting unemployment cheques at to collecting one. But as luck would have it a new program was being offered in Women in Trades. I learned to build cabinets.

Fast forward, I went from full time Certified Kitchen Designer with (NKBA), part-time designer, then full time Journey Woman Millwright and CWB welder. Add in 5 years of study to be a Holistic Registered Nutritionist. Yep you read that right!

Alas passion always wins out and my love of design has brought me back here to HUB Kitchen Design (which is by the way is the affectionate name my 4 sons call me). “Hub” is short for mother hubbard. But also HUB is the center where people connect and build life long memories.

So if you have made it this far I say.

“Welcome to THE HUB!”
