On a personal note, Alex is known for her infectious energy and enthusiasm, but most importantly, for her ability to deeply understand and educate her clients through a potentially stressful process.

 Riding horses before she could walk and throughout her life, Alex is known for her deep love of horses, having the closest thing to one that you could have in your home, her Great Dane, Grace.  

On weekends, you can find her hostessing a swanky dinner party, wrangling her two sons, Beau and Brooks, enjoying a Hendricks dirty martini after a day of tennis or sitting poolside, enjoying her own historic home in Altadena, CA.  

Toting a business degree from USC, Alex brings a savvy professionalism to each project. Having been born to a uniquely international family, she spent summers traveling through Europe, equipping her to bring an elevated international flair to her work. 

Celebrated by Architectural Digest as a 2024 featured designer to watch, she is described as "imbuing her interiors with a warmth and elegance that's style appropriate and contemporary, elevated and cozy" and was tapped by BVLGARI in 2022 to aid in designing their runway shows and gala.

ALEX HAS TRULY BEEN OUR biggest gift THROUGHOUT our HOME RENOVATION EXPERIENCE.

I cannot emphasize the quality of her work product, her efficiency, and her ability to collaborate with all parties involved. She has seamlessly created the most stunning design all the while making sure everyone involved in the renovation stays on track. She’s EXACTLY what you need in an interior designer - she has an unbelievable vision and can transform any space into more than you could have ever dreamed of !"

WORDS can NOT BEGIN to DESCRIBE how MUCH I LOVE ALEX and BLUSH.

She and her team made our wedding dreams come true. Not only does she know everything about florals and design but she is also one of the nicest and most responsive vendors out there. I could email her with random questions or concerns and always count a quick response. Book her ASAP because you will not be disappointed you did. She is the BEST florist in the game and she will make your wedding INCREDIBLE. People are still talking about our florals today.

Since meeting Alex and her team I knew this is who I wanted to do my flowers. She listened to every detail that I wanted and she made it come true! Thank you so much for making my wedding magical! I cried when I went into the tent! I could not believe how beautiful it looked!!!
