ALEXANDER WALKER
INTERIOR DESIGNER
Let me introduce myself…
07957250299
Detail-oriented and driven by a passion for materiality, I bring a strong focus on technical drawing and concept development. With over three years of industry experience, specialising predominantly in delivering high-end designs across the luxury residential sector (both BTR & BTS), I strive to create spaces that are not only visually striking but also thoughtfully crafted, balancing form and functionality.
Having contributed to and led projects across the RIBA stages, I am eager to further develop my skill set, gain exposure to new sectors, and see future projects through to fruition.
