Meet the People Behind the Name

We’re Brian and Lisa Honing. We’re a husband and wife team that works together to create beautiful interior and exterior furniture for our clients’ homes and commercial spaces. Honing Design is our company – our passion – and it’s how we spend our days doing what we love!

About Brian

brian
I come from a 20-year background as a welder, designer and fabricator. My journey in the welding industry began when I was just 20 as I transitioned from mechanical engineering into the aerospace, pharmaceutical and military industries as a specialist in stainless steel and aluminum welding and fabricating. From a very young age, I spent time designing and building a wide variety of creations using natural wood. For me, there’s something special about taking a concept in my mind and turning it into a finished product that I can see, feel and appreciate.

Honing Design is the perfect combination of passion and skillset. My strong industrial background results in a focus on durability and function while my creative side paves the road to the development of furniture that catches the eye and stimulates the imagination.

About Lisa

lisa&brian
My specialty is people. I’ve spent the better part of my career collaborating with clients one-on-one and it’s a skill I use every day here at Honing Design. After working 10+ years as an employment counsellor, I was ready to follow the entrepreneurial dreams my husband and I both share.

A huge advocate of Brian’s talents, I’ve come to play an integral role here at Honing Design. I interact with new customers and help our clients determine exactly what they’re looking for. Working hard to create a warm, welcoming and personalized experience for each and every one of our customers, there’s nothing I enjoy more than handling the day-to-day operational tasks that make our company thrive.
