Qualifications & Accreditations
Interior design can be considered an art, but accreditation makes it a profession.
Grounded in Expertise
For over three decades, Wolski Design Group has worked with thousands of clients to make their spaces come alive. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, we’re a licensed interior design firm specializing in commercial interiors. Our talented designers bring the right blend of knowledge, credentials and passion to deliver remarkable results.
From corporate headquarters and specialty healthcare clinics, to retail settings and everything in between—we’ve completed over 6,000 interior design projects. That’s some 25 million square feet of integrated planning. Much of our work is from repeat clients who know they can rely on us to create memorable space.
Founded by Marshall Wolski in 1983, Wolski has been helmed by Chris Greene and Michele Roach since 2002. As partners at Wolski, they have continued Marshall’s legacy of customized services and highly efficient project management. They also brought to the fore their passion for the possibilities of design.
Creating Great Space
What does your interior say about your company? First impressions speak volumes, especially in a commercial setting. At Wolski Design Group, we weave form and function together to make your space unforgettable.
The connection between inner and outer, attitude and atmosphere, is unbreakable. It’s an endless exchange, one that our team tailors with precision. Bright and vivacious, sleek and simple, quietly cool: the spaces we create echo with expression. They burst with character. They spark new ideas and lasting impressions.
Your surroundings shape your world; let’s make them inspiring.
Our Approach
Technical aptitude, customized services and open communication—at Wolski, our 360-degree proficiency is just as fundamental as our creativity. We are driven by passion but remain focused on thorough project execution. The result—higher quality, better budgeting and bigger impact.
Decisive
Great design is about confident problem solving. It’s about maximizing a space’s potential, while minimizing its challenges. Our team will lead you through the entire design process, from concept to completion, decisively.
Flexible
Interiors are such a personal thing. And at Wolski, so is the entire design process. Our services can be extended to include the most complex aspects of your project, or, kept clean-cut and simple.
Integrated
At Wolski, our keen attitude, warm character and passion for creating great space infuses each project. We pride ourselves on clear, prompt communication, because the best results happen through an open exchange.
Organized
Budgets, timelines, building codes and permits, engineering coordination, drawings, tenders, furniture, construction and inspections; it’s easy to see how a project can get hectic in a hurry. That’s where our planning and project management expertise comes in.
