Raised in a family where both
his parents and grandparents ran a successful construction business
in Montreal, Yanic learned from an early age that good design
and quality workmanship are integral to the art of living. Yanic
has applied his considerable experience in the building trade
– along with his creative talents - to founding the Toronto
Interior Design Group (TIDG), one of the country’s leading design
firms.
The road to design success for Yanic did take some detours along
the way. After exploring Interior Design in Montreal, he spent
several years in television where he enjoyed a successful career
as a host for an entertainment show. Despite a promising career
in media, Yanic never abandoned his love for Interior Design.
A keen market observer and creative thinker, he came to believe
that Transitional Design was the way of the future – and set
out to spread the good word to the world at large.
With a talented team of professionals based in Toronto, Yanic
strives to create new and innovative spaces for his wide range
of clients. His versatile style ranges from minimalist to modern
to elaborate traditional. Practicality and functionality play
a large role in the development of projects, in addition to
cost-effective delivery at the end result achieved by mixing
“old and new” and “high and low”.
Yanic Simard has been featured in many Canadian and international
publications and he also contributes as a design guest expert
to the Canadian acclaimed City TV show City Line.
