As a passionate interior designer with a penchant for aesthetics and a dedication to crafting personalized, functional works of art, I am committed to transforming spaces into havens of beauty and purpose. Renowned for seamlessly marrying creativity with practicality, I bring a wealth of experience in conceptualizing and executing innovative designs that elevate both residential and commercial environments. My unwavering commitment to staying abreast of emerging trends ensures a timeless and harmonious touch to every project, resulting in spaces that not only tell stories but also evoke emotions through thoughtful design.

Now, let me take you back to the beginning of my journey. Once upon a time, there was a girl—a dreamer, a creative soul in every way. Hello, I'm Elizabeth Viva Schulz, named after my sweet and incredibly creative Grandma Viva, who cradled me in her arms upon my arrival into this world. It was only fitting that my business name honors this wonderful lineage that has shaped me.

I spent my formative years in the breathtaking landscapes of Western Montana's Bitterroot Valley, where my parents, remarkable artists and authors themselves, imparted upon me the value of finding beauty in every facet of life.

Nature was my playground, from the evergreen-clad mountains to the meandering streams teeming with hidden treasures. My mother's bountiful flower gardens and our abundant harvests nurtured my appreciation for natural beauty, while my father's woodworking shop sparked my fascination with craftsmanship.

These blessings formed the foundation of Vivas Canvas, established in 1996. The word "VIVA," originating in 1665, embodies the essence of life itself— "may he/she LIVE."

For me, Vivas Canvas is not just a business; it's my passion, my canvas, my design. It's about creating, restoring, resurfacing, building, and rebuilding—adding life and beauty to every project, regardless of its scale.

Welcome to Vivas Canvas Design, where dreams are realized, and spaces are transformed into works of art.
