Design is a journey, it’s a process of discovery fueled by curiosity. My name is Alex Alonso, and I’m the founder and creative principal of mr. Alex Tate Interior Design. When I started the studio, I started with a singular vision: to curate fearlessly. And over the years of building the studio, we’ve really realized that is more of a mission statement for us than it really was just a straight action. How you design a space is just as important as what you put in it. I wanted that process of sourcing, that process of selection to be very mindful and very purposeful. But I knew that to be effective, we had to completely reimagine the relationship between the studio and the client because we knew that at the heart of every great design lies a strong sense of collaboration.

As a studio, we’ll always have a point of view of space the minute we walk into it, but we know that for that space to be successful, it really has to have been grounded in an excellent level of collaboration with our clients. Being fortunate enough to work across both coasts, in Los Angeles and Miami, FL really keeps us on our toes. We’re constantly balancing points of view and design. And somewhere in the middle is where we find our center, a center that’s driven by fearless curation.
