Peyton Licensed Interior Design Inc.

What Peyton Licensed Interior Design Inc. does

Peyton Licensed Interior Design Inc. is a Calgary-based commercial interior design firm founded in 2012 by Kerri Peyton, operating under the trade names Peyton Interior Design and Peyton Design. The firm provides full-service commercial interior design — spanning strategy, space planning, 3D rendering, custom millwork design, furniture selection, construction drawings, and construction oversight — primarily for small and mid-sized businesses in the Calgary and Edmonton markets. Service delivery is anchored on a proprietary "People-First" methodology and a signature "Standout Space" service that runs roughly 4+ months per engagement, with no public per-square-foot or hourly pricing.

The firm's core offerings are delivered by a small core team (founder Kerri Peyton, designer Samantha Reyes, and Director of Operations Ryan Peyton), supplemented by a curated network of contractors, artisans, and trade professionals. Revenue is generated through custom, project-based professional services fees quoted per engagement rather than per square foot or per hour. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on referrals, speaking engagements, university instruction, and thought-leadership content rather than paid marketing. Notable vertical depth exists in hospitality (restaurants, coffee shops, breweries), wellness and healthcare (chiropractic, fitness, child care), retail, and small-office environments, with a multi-year franchise relationship delivering 9 Willowbrae Academy child care locations across Alberta since 2020.

The business is privately held, founder-owned, and has no external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries. Recognition includes two MASI Gold Awards (2018 office design, 2021 retail design), a 2019 Canada Interior Design Delegation invitation to Copenhagen, and active participation in Alberta Association of Architects and NCIDQ mentorship programs. The website (peytondesign.com) and a small suite of portfolio case studies constitute the primary digital presence.
