The IKAN team's craftsmanship on a completed Victoria kitchenYour trusted guide for custom kitchens and renovations
How IKAN started
IKAN began with a simple conversation and a shared vision to make beautiful, functional kitchen design more accessible to Victoria families. What started as helping one homeowner solve the measurement and ordering problems of a flat-pack kitchen turned into a full custom cabinetry company, and word of mouth did the rest.
As IKAN grew, it became clear that a great kitchen doesn't exist on its own. Homeowners kept asking for help with the space around it: the flooring, the electrical, the wall and outdated bulkheads that needed to come down. We formalized a long-needed IKAN renovation wing in 2025 to match the scope its clients had already been asking for.
Why we do this
Most homeowners aren't actually shopping for a specific cabinet. They're trying to match their tastes and style with what can feel like high-stakes decisions. What worries them isn't the tile or the hardware, it's making an expensive mistake, hiring someone unreliable, or living through months of miscommunication and delays.
IKAN exists to remove that risk. Our clients get one point of accountability.
- Oneexperienced team.
- Oneorganized process.
- Onetrusted guide.
Our Promise
A renovation is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your home.
We don't take that lightly.
At IKAN, you're not hiring a cabinet supplier or one contractor among many. You're choosing one team that owns the whole production, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. No juggling designers, installers, plumbers, and painters. There is no wondering who's responsible when a question comes up.
When something does come up, we don't disappear or point fingers. You'll always know who to call and who's committed to sorting it out. We stay until the work is done and done right.
We're here to build something bigger than a beautiful kitchen. We're here to earn your trust, so that from your first phone call to the day you cook your first dinner, you feel respected, informed, and confident you chose well.
Your beautiful, functional space, delivered by one team. That's our promise.

Kyler Davalovsky
Founder & Co-Owner, Kitchen Team LeadI began IKAN with a question: why should great design and quality craftsmanship be reserved for the most expensive homes?
I trained at Camosun College to be a Red Seal Journeyman Carpenter and went on to work with two of Victoria's premier custom home builders. That's where I fell for interior finishing, especially kitchens: craftsmanship people touch and use every day. It's also where I noticed those beautiful kitchens were out of reach for most homeowners, myself included.
IKAN began by making standard cabinetry feel custom through design and carpentry. It grew into custom cabinetry, millwork, and full renovations because I refused to let clients settle for “close enough.”
Today I touch nearly every project at IKAN. My carpentry background gives me a chance to see and know how something should look, and how it should be built for longevity and functionality. If I’m known for one thing in the company, it's finding a way. What still drives me is watching clients see their finished space for the first time.
Away from work, I spend time in my workshop, on the water, or cycling the Galloping Goose with my family, with an ice cream stop strategically planned.
Brett Morgan
Co-Owner, Renovation Team LeadI joined the IKAN team in 2022 as renovation lead and general contractor. Every day, this work feeds my passion for interior design and creating beautiful spaces for people. With 20 + years in the home renovation space, I can bring a contractor’s organizational skills, a designer’s eye and an entrepreneur’s instincts to every project. On any given day, that means lining up plumbers, electricians, and tilers so each trade walks into a space that's ready for them to do their best work.
I have seen many dated and worn out rooms in my time, and know what it takes to make a renovation successful. It’s more than tools and timelines, but figuring out what a client really wants, knowing what is possible, and keeping everyone in the loop as a project unfolds.
Bonnie Beard
DesignerHelping clients with decision fatigue is my specialty, and it comes from years of practice and experience talking and helping clients. Before joining the IKAN team in 2019, I spent 18 years as a graphic designer, following studying a Bachelor in Fine Arts. A lifelong love of interior design, meeting new people, and making things drew me to the kitchen renovation space. I have designed and installed two kitchens and two bathrooms of my own and I know firsthand what it feels like to live through a renovation and what it takes to get one right.
What I enjoy most is seeing the potential in every space, and I value the freedom at IKAN to create unique, outside-the-box designs for my clients. The greatest reward is watching every project move from scribbles on a paper to a finished room and a happy client. Outside of work, you might find me in a hot yoga class where I practice staying present and calm—a useful skill when I am guiding people through many, many decisions!
Kathy Vanoostveen
DesignerWhat I love most about my work is the excitement I witness when a client sees their design for the first time and realizes the space they've pictured is actually going to happen.
I managed a large retail business for more than 20 years before joining the IKAN team in 2020. Design is not just about making something look good, it’s about understanding people, identifying needs and creating something that works for my clients. When I am not designing kitchens, you will often find me in one, trying new and fun recipes I have found on social media. I also love cheering on my favourite hockey and football teams.
Douglas Rietveld
Installation ManagerI’ve worked extensively across the trades, bringing a broad, hands-on understanding of every stage of a renovation to IKAN. My career has grown toward fine finishing, and building kitchens came as a natural extension of his passion and eye for the details. I have been with IKAN since 2020, and grown into a mentorship and organizational role, handling the math and geometry to create stunning, one-of-a-kind features and bring 1000s of years of architectural design into modern spaces.
I grew up in Victoria and have worked on every kind of home from the restoration of ‘Samuel Maclure’ heritage homes in Rockland to penthouses in new residential towers.
Local materials, local talent
IKAN works with British Columbia-made and locally sourced cabinets and materials, and coordinates certified electrical and plumbing trade partners on every renovation. That means no overseas supply chain delays, and one project lead managing every trade partner on your job, so nothing falls through the cracks.
