OUR PHILOSOPHY
Spaces That Reflect
How You Live
Hi, I'm Alex
My story is a bit of a mix, much like my design style. I grew up with the structured, polished energy of New York, but I’ve spent the last decades falling in love with the effortless light and relaxed pace of Southern California. That "East Coast brain" means I’m obsessed with the technical details and the seamless execution that keeps a project on track, but my "California heart" is what drives the aesthetic: creating spaces that feel airy, storied, and deeply suited for real life.
When I’m not in the studio, I’m usually knee-deep in my own 1963 fixer-upper, hunting down a new gluten-free treat, or out for a long walk with my husband and our two dogs. I truly believe your home should be the place where you can finally just exhale, and I’d love to help you build yours.
Words from Our Client
"Incredible to work with, down to every last detail."
We wanted someone to make the decisions and work well with our contractor, and she absolutely delivered. She was hands on, present, decisive, creative, and easy to work with. Our 5 bathroom project felt seamless, and each space is unique but with a cohesive style. Next up, our kitchen! We’re excited to work with Alex again very soon.

"We had a fantastic experience with Grounded Homes!"
We are beyond happy with the results and had a smooth journey along the way as well. Alex and the team have such great attention to detail and sense of style. They provided our contractors with more than enough information to execute our vision and were always available to discuss details or obstacles.
I seriously can't wait for our next project to work with them again!

"Our home feels cohesive and updated"
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Grounded Homes on 2 different projects now. I’ve been so appreciative of the creativity, attention to detail, and service orientation of each designer. I strongly recommend Grounded Homes to all my friends and would never use another designer. Alex, Sophie, and Camila are great listeners and it has made all the difference in making our home amazing!

About Grounded Homes
Rooted in Ease
I founded Grounded Homes because I believe the most meaningful interiors aren’t ordered from a catalog, they’re gathered over time. We aren’t interested in "perfect" or chasing the latest trend; we’re interested in soul. Our work is a curated narrative of soulful materiality and functional ease, designed to feel personal and quietly elevated from day one.
I know that taking on a home project can feel like an avalanche of decisions. That’s why I’ve built a firm that prioritizes clarity and organization above all else. We handle the 42 "quick questions" and the site surprises so you don't have to. We’re here to be the calm in the center of your remodel, ensuring the process feels just as refined as the finished room.
