About J&J By Design
For nearly 40 years, founders Chris MacKeigan and Hershey Vijan MacKeigan have combined their expertise in residential and commercial millwork, kitchen design, and interior planning to create beautiful, enduring spaces. What started as J&J Wood Products has since evolved into J&J By Design, a family business that now includes their sons — continuing a tradition of excellence across generations.
We’ve become known for our Mennonite-crafted custom kitchens, closets, millwork, and furniture — always built with integrity, care, and precision.
As Chris says, “The quality and value speak for themselves. There’s nothing quite like it on the market.”
Using advanced 3D technology, we help clients visualize their projects in detail, ensuring every choice is just right before a single piece is built. This collaborative and transparent approach allows us to accommodate a wide range of styles and budgets while delivering outstanding results.
Bringing Your Vision to Life
At J&J By Design, we specialize in transforming ideas into beautifully handcrafted reality — whether it’s a custom kitchen, a stunning centre island, a dining set, or accent pieces designed to complete your space.
Our reputation has been built not only on craftsmanship but on meaningful relationships with our clients. The majority of our customers come to us through referrals — and many become friends.
“One client was so touched by her new custom closet, she had tears in her eyes,” says Vijan-MacKeigan. “That kind of moment reminds us why we love what we do.”
Over the years, we’ve seen our work multiply through word of mouth. “We built one kitchen, and through that one happy client, we were invited to design seven more,” shares MacKeigan.
Our Commitment
We personally oversee each project, working alongside skilled Old World Mennonite craftsmen to ensure every detail is executed with precision and care. Our promise is simple:
