Ross Alexander has thrived in the world of design for nearly two decades, developing a mélange of taste, expertise and execution while in leadership roles at prestigious AD 100 interior design and architecture firms, including Robert Couturier, Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Charlotte Moss. Throughout his tenure alongside these venerable designers and teams, his breadth of knowledge in architecture, historical reference and all arenas of the decorative arts grew and evolved with his personal passion for the work.

His process is based around the vital principles of instinct and intuition, in order to create spaces that are comfortable, cosseting and glamorous. Every project Ross undertakes begins with a foundation of trust - in that process, his intimate knowledge of art, international and domestic antiques, and the belief that through the finest quality goods and custom craftsmanship, things should be done once, and very well. Each project holds a straightforward sense of place, grounded in site specific context, while tapping into an interpretation of each client’s best self. Ross deeply enjoys the collaborative nature of residential design and embarking on the path to making each home shine.

Growing up in the American Midwest next to a nature preserve was an indispensable contribution to his eye for lush, classical rooms and dynamic color. His abundant use of florals are suggestive of the watercolors that often appear in his custom murals, wallcoverings, rug collection and bespoke line of lampshades - referred to in Architectural Digest as made with “a marvelous, painterly hand.” After briefly considering a career as a botanist, Ross befriended (by post) the legendary designer Mario Buatta, who encouraged him to study interior design in New York City, and later working at the office. His path set by that first job with “The Prince of Chintz,” Ross went on to his current career successfully completing projects including historic landmarked buildings, new multi-family commercial towers, estates, townhouses and apartments.
