About

Although based in Calgary Canada, no project is too far from our reach.

Designer Laura Shewchuk is passionate about creating design solutions focused on her client’s individuality. She utilizes her strong communication skills to reveal and bring the client’s vision to fruition.  Timeless design, high-quality products, and refined craftsmanship bring a vision to life. Laura’s success is a result of her client-centric process.  Understanding current and future needs helps frame the project parameters.  From the onset, the focus is not just listening but hearing their needs while proposing solutions that meet and exceed their expectations.  Her unique approach of ongoing multiple stakeholder engagements and input results in designs that are integrated, unified, and tailored to the personality and lifestyle of each client.

Laura’s strong visual background in the arts is reflected in her broad design capabilities, emphasizing her “specialized adaptive styling”.  This approach offers clients the opportunity and flexibility to integrate meaningful pieces into their new design.  This could be heirlooms, or a blended solution, adding components of visual significance including existing and unique globally sourced pieces, all resulting in authentic spaces reflective of the client’s personal style today and in the future.

Something she is known for is sourcing ideas and products from all over the world, using her extensive well-developed network of suppliers.  This enables clients to incorporate often not readily found, truly unique components reflective of their vision resulting in outcomes that are as unique as the clients she serves.  In the event she cannot source the ideal product for the project, she designs custom pieces, such as furniture, lighting, or rugs using a variety of skilled tradespeople.

Referrals from delighted clientele have built Urban Energy’s boutique business to become one of the most highly regarded and professional companies. Laura and her team’s unwavering attention to detail and professionalism are foundational to a successful outcome through the utilization of quality products, materials, workmanship, and respectful relationships.

Urban Energy’s client relationships are predicated on trust and results supported through, collaboration, discreteness, convenience, and unparalleled service.
