Meet Aly

Originally from the south, Aly blends her Southern style with a crisp West Coast edge in every project. Her work celebrates color, texture, and pattern layered with a touch of whimsy to create customized livable spaces.

At the heart of each design is a commitment to telling the story of the people who live there. Aly Gay Design works closely with clients to bring personal meaning into the home, crafting spaces that feel soulful, inviting, and playful. Through thoughtful transitional design and an unwavering attention to detail each home is layered with warmth, history, and intention.

Aly is often heard quipping, “An antique in every room.” Whether it’s a travel-found trinket, a cherished piece of art, or your grandmother’s desk, every space should have a story to tell. These stories come to life through highly collaborative partnerships with architects, builders, and custom craftsmen, resulting in homes with exceptional flow, function, and timeless appeal.

Aly draws inspiration from her love of travel, fashion and design icons including Ken Fulk, Bunny Williams, and Mike D. Sikes.

Aly is a consummate professional, from delivering a wealth of inspiration board ideas, to coming over to ensure that every furniture delivery is correct, to proactively checking back to see if you are satisfied and need anything else. She is creative, able to embrace every type of style. She is positive and fun to work with! We love everything she has done in our home!
