I am a design professional living in Markham who has been helping families create fresh, bright and liveable spaces that my clients feel proud to call home, since 2012. I am a Certified Interior Decorator and Consultant with experience designing the homes of families in and around the Greater Toronto Area, and in Boston and Halifax through E-Design. I have designed welcoming spaces for homeowners, condo owners and renters alike. Whether working on a Full Service Interior Decorating Project or providing an Interior Design Consultation, my goal is always to help the client create a home that they can relax in, entertain friends and family in and love to come home to. My work has been published in Canadian Home Trends magazine and online with Project Nursery and Project Junior. When I am not decorating, I enjoy spending time at home with my husband, teenage son and our family cat.

​Niina Felushko is an entrepreneur passionate about helping individuals & small business owners achieve their financial goals. Niina has over 10 years of experience in the financial sector, with a specialty in tax preparation. After working in the corporate world, she felt the time was right to branch out on her own. With that, Insightful Financial Connections Inc. was born! As the business grew, the next logical step was to include cloud based bookkeeping services so that clients had the convenience of one stop shop for their small business financial needs.
As a community leader (Chair, Unionville BIA, past Treasurer, Unionville BIA), Niina works tirelessly to connect the local businesses with the City of Markham to make Unionville Main Street a safe and thriving area for locals and tourists alike. As a mentor and advocate for women entrepreneurs, Niina facilitates various financial workshops to local employment and business programs in and around York Region. Seeing a void in the networking space for female business owners in York Region, Niina created Social Butterfly Connections, a monthly meet-up specifically for women in business who come together to learn, share, and support one another. Insightful Financial Connections is a boutique financial firm that offers tax preparation and bookkeeping services for individuals and small businesses.

35+ years in sales has instilled upon me that relationships built on trust, knowledge, understanding and long-term perspectives allow for ‘win-win’ results.  I know that the business of residential real estate must always consider the fine line between a client’s largest financial transaction and their emotional ties to a property.  My strength is to keep these two perspectives in mind, to listen and guide. Overwhelmingly, my mindset each and every day is to work alongside other professionals to provide a truly personalized service for my clients.
