Located the heart of Vancouver’s Armoury District, Provide is an essential source of thoughtfully curated home accessories designed by master artisans from around the world. We foster and support the growth and success of both emerging and known designers from across Canada and collaborate on exclusive furniture and accessory lines from many makers in our own city.

Provide’s first Beatty Street location in 2007 was a passion project of David Keeler and his late partner, Robert Quinnell. Robert had a passion for retail and truly loved working with both the artisans we represented and our customers. Paired with David’s background in branding and design, the couple quickly built Provide’s reputation as a design destination in the city. 

In 2015, they moved the store to the Armoury District, the heart of the city’s design community. Sadly, Robert passed away in 2019, but his legacy of warm, welcoming, customer-oriented service lives on at Provide today.   

Born in Alberta, David’s wanderlust drew him to Montreal, San Francisco and New York, where he attended Parsons School of Design, and finally, to Vancouver. Each city and experience refined his natural aesthetic, which he applied to advertising and design for many years before to turning his talent to Provide. 

He has long been drawn to interior design and strongly believes in Provide’s core mission of supporting the local design community and building relationships with designers around the world. Part of that mission includes regularly traveling to international design shows such as Maison et Objet in Paris, 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen, Wanted in New York and Salone del Mobile in Milan.

David is happy to offer his design services to Provide’s clients, helping to select the final layer of textiles, accessories and more to bring both a sense of style and a uniquely personal statement to each person’s home.
