“Thandi Restaurant had the opportunity to work with Judith Mackin of Tuck Interiors on our bar renovation. Judith incorporated the existing elements creating a warm classy cosmopolitan atmosphere. Judith researched Ken’s Punjabi roots thus the name; the Santara which means orange in Punjabi. Judith added beautiful orange fixtures ,copper accents, bamboo counters, enhancing the beauty of this historic building. It was a privilege to work Judith on this project . Saint John is a better place because of the talented individuals like Judith Mackin”

“The first time we set foot in Judith’s own home we knew we wanted our own home to have the same impact on others that Judith’s had on us. Judith was able to give us just that, while still keeping our house true to us. She showed us where to spend and where to save in order to get the most out of our renovation. But of all the money we spent Judith was by far the best investment of all. We can’t wait to have her touch on the rest of our home.”

After ten years of business, we needed to freshen up...what was in store for me, I could have never imagined. The restaurant industry is like fashion, really comfortable and delicious fashion...who better to go to – Tuck Interiors - with Judith Mackin. We began the journey and from the first meeting to the last light bulb hung, Judith's keen eye oversaw it all (and her involved hand actually laid down some paint), the detail was second to none, the functionality is superior and the end result, as I have said many times, we're over the moon with excitement. It has maintained what we have built in feel and taken us to a whole new level of design. We are absolutely thrilled with not only the result, but the great journey of understanding design and its function.

“I feel very lucky to have chosen Judith Mackin’s TUCK INTERIORS to help me launch my own company – The SJ Psychology Centre. I was unexpectedly thrust into the role of entrepreneur, and given a short timeframe to get my business up and running. I have always known Judith has great style, but I did not appreciate the full breadth of her talents. Judith provided “value added” services in every sense of the word. She took great care to get to know me and my business (i.e., psychology). She was able to think about branding and design issues from multiple perspectives including clients, staff, and referral sources. She was respectful of my modest budget. Her choices are not only beautiful but they “work”. For example, my colleagues and I are thrilled with our copious storage for files, books, and testing materials. Judith was exceptionally generous in terms of sharing her entrepreneurial wisdom with a rookie like myself. I am also impressed by her broader commitment to the entrepreneurial and arts communities here in Saint John. The end product is nothing short of inspirational to myself, my staff, and my clients.”

I hired Judith to help me choose finishes and furniture for my newly constructed home. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Judith. First and foremost, she knows her stuff: she has a real eye for design and the elements of light, flow and colour. She is committed to quality on any budget and can stick to the vision while being flexible when necessary. She is creative and collaborative: several of my vendors and tradespeople mentioned to me how easy she was to work with. Judith worked with me as a partner: she understood my needs and left room for me to express myself, while gently pushing me to step out of my comfort zone and tactfully nudging me away from potential mistakes. Her passion, energy and great sense of humour made it a real pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend her.
