The Studio Team Collective: Where Modern American Maximalism Meets Storytelling

Led by design principal and creative visionary Alex Alonso, the studio team collective reimagines interior spaces through a distinctly maximalist lens.  Alex has spent years weaving together experiences from both coasts and continents beyond, launching a studio that embraces global design perspectives and celebrates the curious power of storytelling through space.

Modern American Maximalism: A Bold Design Philosophy

At the heart of the studio's aesthetic lies what Alex calls "modern Victorian"—a sophisticated design approach that honors the art of the mix. Drawing from Victorian sensibilities of layered, eclectic interiors, Alex has redefined modern American maximalism for today's design landscape. His signature style balances pattern, texture and color with a contemporary edge, creating spaces where every layer whispers a story and every corner reveals intention.

From Miami Sun to Global Inspiration: The Alex Alonso Story

Cuban-born and raised beneath Miami's insanely humid skies, Alex is a curious spirit with a penchant for collecting. After studying at Northwestern University and honing his strategic eye in Chicago advertising, he migrated west to Los Angeles, where entertainment became his canvas for years. Yet through it all, design remained his true north—his passion, his constant, his craft perfected in quiet dedication.

Alex approaches each journey as a collector gathering treasures not just of objects, but of narratives, textures, and cultural wisdom. These global explorations breathe life into every project, infusing residential interiors with worldly sophistication and unexpected beauty.

Evaluated by interior design luminaries—host Genevieve Gorder, Elle Decor Editor-in-Chief Whitney Robinson, and design icon Jonathan Adler—his work demonstrated the power of thoughtful maximalism.
