Welcome!
I am Alexandra
After graduating from Architecture, followed shortly by an MBA, both from Universidad de los Andes, I distanced myself from architecture and ventured into various job opportunities both in commercial trade and administrative problem-solving solutions. One of these, and a favorite, was a project I created and owned in a house of historic preservation. A unique store design, La Quinta de Rosales brought awareness and formalized talented artisan entrepreneurs, attracting clients through the use of spatial planning and product highlighting.
Although creativity was always present in the different positions I held, I felt the need to return to my initial passion of interior design and complement my architectural background. I began at the Art Institute of Washington transferring to Marymount University where in 2019 I received my Bachelors of Arts in Interior Design. During the pandemic, I worked at Restoration Hardware. Soon, I was inspired to create Alex Thorsberg Interiors and offer you the understanding of the interaction between architecture and interior design; taking into account the investment required for your needs and lifestyle of today, with a vision towards your future. Developing the right design is like putting together the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to visualize the outcome as one beautiful piece. The final result is made possible with a coherent client-designer interaction built on strong communication, transparency, and trust, which is the basis of my work, and one which has been the case throughout my career.
Another aspect which interests me in the world of interior design, and which I have personally lived and seen, are the different effects and stages of dementia. I received my Certificate for Aging in Place in 2020 and complimented my thesis on this subject matter. I have always been interested in designing spaces that provide solutions in response to different needs, while also making them aesthetically pleasing. Awareness of designing for the future includes not only beauty but security, comfort, and functionality; and for the elderly, and others whose needs may require special design solutions, a meaningful process of dignity and love.
Testimonials
“I would highly recommend Alex! She has a unique ability to fully understand her clients vision and works tirelessly to help meet their goals. I had met with other designers in the industry and received the same feedback from everyone, “my idea wouldn’t work in my space,” or “they wouldn’t recommend,” and tried to steer me in another direction. Alex listened. She of course presented the challenges everyone had, but then came to me with valuable and creative recommendations, and now she’s helped create my vision and favorite spot in my home! She has an eye for working colors, finishes, and textures which for me personally brought both sophistication and warmth to my space. She was very respectful of my budget and has the ability to mix both high end pieces and lower cost. She has a strong sense of urgency if there is a timeline, is passionate, and overall very caring. I’ll be a repeat client!”
“We were so happy when we met Alex on our first meeting. She understood immediately our vision of updating our foyer and have a new color scheme for all the rooms in the house. She has a wonderful eye for color, creating the perfect mood for each room while maintaining a balanced color theme throughout. She added to our home a new level of sophistication. The idea of seeing a beautiful lacquered statement wall as you walk into the foyer, with a new runner to match on the stairway, has brought many compliments. Alex was also a critical bridge between the contractors and ourselves. Her dedication to make sure the paint job and stairway was done correctly did not end until the project was completed. We look forward to working with her in the future.”
