After receiving a BA in Art, I was introduced into the world of interior design and then pursued my second degree. I was smitten from my first design class on interior structure and drafting and knew this would be my lifelong pursuit. Starting my career in commercial design, doing hotels, high end residential work and public spaces, I realized I loved the interaction with private clients and their trust earned while doing their designs, I was able able to create “art in interiors”, that fulfills my creative energy, my client’s vision, and my own passion”. It was after her education in Art, that she was introduced to the world she loves that is interior design.

On the context of her design firm, she found some difficulties during the massive recession of 2008-2011. “My biggest business challenge hit during the recession of 2008-2011 when I was working on a huge penthouse project, being totally immersed and sheltered from what was happening to others worldwide, with businesses closing and firms streamlining. When completing this penthouse, I realized there were no new projects in-house. I panicked and had to figure out how to market my services for the first time in 20 years. That was difficult and painful but was helped by past clients requesting me to begin new projects for them. I was very grateful and fortunate”. She was able to overcome those negative times and successfully grow as a company, being able to achieve many incredible steps along the way.

Right now, Alene Workman Interior Design is currently developing an interesting project in the Bahamas. “We are currently in communication with a client building their new 12,000 square foot home in the Bahamas. It is a challenging project only in that the client must deal with the intricacies that go along with building and furnishing a home in another country when they are USA based. As the designer, I am excited to explore the local Bahamian design solutions that mix island living with updated British Colonial themes and the most forward-thinking hi-tech living”. They look to create a great foundation and set the background for incorporating beautiful and bespoke furnishings that make a home unique and creates an individual lifestyle for that specific client.

As a design firm, they don’t like to “follow trends in residential design, I do think there is a movement to create an easy lifestyle living that requires less maintenance than in prior years. There is also a direction of incorporating less formatted design where originality is the primary force and unexpected pieces may be combined, mixing modern with midcentury or iconic pieces from Scandinavia, to create a lighter and unexpected interior. It’s a somewhat more offbeat direction and can evolve into a “bohemian” offbeat feeling”. With that diversity, they’re able to display the most amazing settings, concentrating many different styles, and still making it absolutely stunning.

We often seek out and curate these pieces into our designs”.

As far as the future goes, Alene Workman Interior Design really thinks that self-awareness is the next big thing within the interior design. “Many people seem to be responding and focusing on the feelings they want to convey in their private spaces, rather than a look. It seems less about impressing anyone, but more about the self-awareness and what is important to their lifestyle. Whether it’s more relaxed or not, it comes down to the essence of their feelings about how they want to live. This personal responsiveness to house and home to convey one’s true nature in a feel-good space may be the future of where clients are headed. That often means including the most advanced high-tech advances that are changing the way we live and are connected unless of course, they want to disconnect entirely”. The future seems bright for Alene Workman Interior Design, and we can’t wait to see what comes next!
