Who We Are
A desire to create extraordinary outdoor spaces at a fair price led to the emergence of Outdoor Escape design in the Okanagan Valley. Fabulous spring, summer, and fall seasons in the Okanagan call for spectacular patios, balconies, and deck areas that deserve quality, stylish furniture and entertaining spaces. When the weather is just right, Okanagan locals enjoy spending their time outside, hosting dinner parties, gathering for evenings by a fire and afternoons lounging by the pool.
Outdoor Escape offers resort-style luxury to these outdoor living spaces with thoughtfully-designed furniture made for escaping the indoors.

Founder
Erin Dos Santos
Born and raised in B.C., and a local to Kelowna since 2006, Erin Dos Santos has always loved spending time outdoors and taking advantage of all that the Okanagan has to offer. She enjoys relaxing on a daybed next to her pool, entertaining guests in the backyard, hiking, skiing, figure skating, and camping.
When Erin isn’t out in the Okanagan sun, there are two places you might find her: at work or in Europe. In addition to completing her BBA at Okanagan College in 2013, Erin spent time studying in Madrid. She also traveled around Europe many times over the years. She loves visiting Portugal to see her husband’s family, relax on the beaches of Algarve, and indulge in Portuguese food.
With nine years of experience in commercial beverage supply under her belt, Erin has gained an abundance of expertise in importing goods from Europe and Asia. This has served her well in managing logistics for Outdoor Escape, which began as a side gig in 2020.
Erin’s passion for the finer things in life, traveling to Mediterranean countries, and her love of spending time outdoors really fostered her inspiration to start Okanagan Outdoor Escape Design and provide Okanagan locals with modern, high-end, trendy furniture pieces that will elevate their outdoor space.
Sales Representative
Tabitha Ann
Hailing from Alberta, Tabitha (Tabi) made the move to Kelowna in 2000 and set down roots in the Okanagan. Her career has taken her from healthcare to aesthetics, and now into outdoor furniture with Okanagan Outdoor Escape Design.
Tabi loves her work, but her pride and joy is her four year-old daughter. She loves that the Okanagan offers plenty of fun activities for her to enjoy with her mini. Tabi also continues to work in the aesthetics industry at a lash and brow bar.
After developing a strong relationship with Erin, Tabi joined Okanagan Outdoor Escape Design in 2022 and brings to the table a huge passion for decor. She hopes to bring this passion for design into the outdoor spaces of each of her clients.
