ALEXIS PEW
Partner & Interior Designer // Allied ASID

A fifth-generation Philadelphian, Alexis Pew brings a thoughtful and deeply personal approach to interior design. Her work is guided by a fascination with how environments shape daily life and a belief that beauty and function should seamlessly coexist. After studying graphic design at James Madison University and earning a degree in Interior Design from Harcum College, Alexis honed her expertise through years of residential design experience. She is known for creating interiors distinguished by rich materiality, nuanced color palettes, and an effortless sense of comfort.

Alexis leads the interior design vision for each project, guiding clients through every stage of the process — from conceptual development to furnishings and styling. Her ability to translate a client’s aspirations into cohesive, highly individualized environments has become a hallmark of the studio’s work.

In addition to her professional practice, Alexis has taught courses in interior design, furniture history, and digital rendering, reflecting a longstanding commitment to design education and mentorship.

THE STUDIO

Every project is shaped through a collaborative design process that brings together architecture, interiors, and the expertise of our trusted network of builders, fabricators, skilled artisans, and specialty consultants. Working as a unified team from the outset allows us to resolve complex design challenges with clarity while ensuring that every decision — from the overall composition to the smallest detail — supports a cohesive vision. The result is a process that is as thoughtful and considered as the homes we create.
