Meet the Team
HELEN LABELLE
I am one of the Owners of Georgian Design Centre along with my husband Dave Sr who has since retired. I started with our family business in 1996 when the last of our 6 children went to school full time. I am originally from Montreal and moved to southern Georgian Bay in the mid 70’s and have been lucky to call Collingwood my home ever since.
I perform all of the administrative duties here at Georgian Design Centre and manage the lighting department which is my passion. I am very privileged to work with my son, 2 daughters, son-in law and our other incredible sales (work family) team.
When I am not working, I love spending time with our children and grandchildren who are my raison d’etre. Having strong family values which came from an amazing upbringing, goes hand in hand with ensuring that from the moment a client comes through the doors at Georgian Design Centre they are treated professionally and respectfully. Customer service is our number one priority
My personal interests are travelling with my husband David and maintaining my extensive gardens at home.
DAVID LABELLE
I work with custom builders, designers and contractors as well as walk in customers and would love to work with you on your next project so if you are wanting someone with good energy, a great sense of design and passion for top customer service, then we should work together.Favourite Design Style- Japandi and Organic Modern.
JOEL BROCK
My name is Joel Brock and I am one of Georgian Design Centre’s qualified sales associates. Many clients have said my friendly demeanor and caring personality has helped them enjoy the purchasing process at GDC. I like to ensure that the proper products are picked and used for each job to insure they will wear well and keep a long lasting positive relationship between my clients and GDC. I started working in the flooring industry over 19 years ago and my well rounded knowledge of our flooring, lighting and plumbing ensures that the process of choosing products for any job from small to large moves smoothly and efficiently. All customers have specific needs and budgets and I feel my job is to help find the right products for the right job to ensure proper performance and help the customers understand why some products may perform better than others. Born and raised in Collingwood, I look forward to raising my family in the same area and manner as I was. I look forward to meeting you and being able to help you through your purchases and projects.
SARAH GREEN
Hi! My name is Sarah Green. I was born and raised in Collingwood, where I’ve always cherished the small-town charm and sense of community. After completing my college studies in London, Ontario, I returned home to Collingwood—a decision that shaped both my personal and family life.
Not long after moving back, I met my husband, Braden, and together we’ve built a wonderful life here. We are blessed with two beautiful daughters who bring joy, laughter, and adventure into our lives every day.
I am proud to be a part of my family business, where I have worked for almost 20 years. I love home design and decorating, as well as staying up to date on the latest home trends. In my role here at GDC, I perform administrative duties and also spend time in the showroom, helping clients pull together products to create curated, yet personal spaces that suit their lifestyle and tastes.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family camping (or glamping), boating, and making the most of our beautiful town.
