Alex McKay

I approach my designs as I do my art—through a lens of storytelling. Flow, light, colour, and rootedness.  Ever evolving, I consciously blend practical design techniques, sustainable biophillic elements and architectural lines with timeless style. My goal is always to craft spaces that not only aesthetically captivate but also subtly narrate stories, welcoming profound and lasting connections. The prospect of joining a dynamic design studio thrills me.  A studio where collaboration fuels the creation of unforgettable spaces, to authentically reflect a client’s or brand's essence. 

With a rich career spanning three continents, my passion will forever lay in the F&B, hospitality and social spaces genres. As an expat, I excel in navigating various cultural settings, adeptly picking up on subtle nuances that enrich designs and foster strong client relationships. My dedication is bedded in my inquisitive character and broad technical knowledge.  Along the way I like to nurture creativity, pushing beyond the surface level of designs, to support a sense of community within a team. My distinctive qualities serve as the cornerstone for delivering successful and meaningful projects that resonate on a global scale.  At the heart of it all, I'm driven by a passion for creating spaces that not only inspire but also leave a lasting impact, reflecting the unique stories and identities they serve.
