As a Red Seal carpenter, Ivana can work right across Canada. Although she loves coming home to the Atlantic Provinces, her expertise in restoring heritage buildings has resulted in interesting projects from coast to coast. Ivana started her own business 5 years after she completed her apprenticeship. She has built an amazing team of creative people, including an architect, a designer and several carpenters. Ivana has found innovative solutions for building her business, including accessing funding for heritage projects, hiring apprentices and, on occasion, purchasing and renovating neglected heritage homes.
