Yvonne Potter, BID, started her design career studying Architecture in Edmonton from 1986-1988. Yvonne then earned a Bachelor of Industrial Design in 1996 from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. That summer she became an apprentice furniture designer at Fratelli Motta, a modern furniture manufacturer in Milan, Italy.

Yvonne expanded into interior design in 2010, focusing on condominium customization and residential and small business renovations that include her bespoke furniture and built-in designs. 131 Holland Penthouse and Powell Lofts Condominium are 2 condominium turnkey projects featuring her signature style and modern furniture designs.
