Identity by Design
Design strategy, FF&E, and procurement for builders, developers, investors, and hospitality brands — spaces people choose to buy, book, visit, and remember.
The Studio
We design the reason people choose to be there.
The architect defines what a project needs to be. The engineer determines how it can be built. The interior designer answers why it matters. Every finish, fixture, and furnishing should carry a purpose — influence behavior, strengthen a brand, and give people a reason to come back. Anyone can furnish a room. Our work is to find the story behind a project and build an environment people remember.

What We Do
Design, procurement, and everything in between
Design centers and model homes, multifamily and short-term rental packages, hospitality and commercial interiors — delivered from strategy through installation. Custom residential continues by referral.
01
Builder Design Centers & Model Homes
Selection packages and merchandised model homes that move inventory. We build design center offerings, spec levels, and upgrade paths that raise price per square foot and shorten buyer decision time.

02
Multifamily FF&E Packages
Unit and amenity packages specified for durability, turn speed, and lease-up appeal — priced by door, coordinated across every floor plan, and delivered on the construction schedule.

03
Short-Term Rental & Investment Design
Airbnb and VRBO interiors designed to photograph well, review well, and book at a premium. Twenty years in investment real estate informs every decision about what earns its cost.

04
FF&E Procurement & Logistics
Sourcing, purchase orders, vendor management, freight, warehousing, and delivery tracking — so the design that was specified is the design that arrives on site.

05
Restaurants & Boutique Hotels
Hospitality interiors built around brand story and guest behavior — restaurants, bars, and boutique hotels that guests photograph, remember, and return to.

06
Commercial & Workplace Interiors
Offices, medical suites, and retail environments where design supports operations, staff experience, and the way customers actually move through a space.

Featured Project
Nacho Daddy — Nashville
AKA Interiors served as the procurement and creative installation partner for the Nashville location, managing the sourcing, fabrication, and installation of more than 200 custom display shelves, signature wall installations, custom murals, commissioned artwork, and biophilic design elements. Every feature was curated to reinforce the Nacho Daddy brand while creating an immersive guest experience that can be replicated across future locations.
“You've truly been one of the few bright spots on this project. Thank you for consistently delivering and being someone I can count on.”

Featured Project
1867 Italianate Estate Renovation
When a developer acquired this foreclosed 1867 Italianate estate, they partnered with AKA Interiors to transform the historic property into a turnkey event venue and boutique hotel destination. Our team developed the interior design vision, curated furnishings and décor, and carefully balanced modern hospitality with the home's original architectural character — creating an elegant, guest-ready property that honors its history while delivering a memorable luxury experience.
Hospitality Work→Still Designing Homes
Residential, by referral
Residential design is where AKA started, and we still take a limited number of homes each year — most of them referred by past clients, builders, and brokers.
How We Work
Strategy first, always
One framework, whether it is a model home, a restaurant, or a two-hundred-door community.
01
Discovery
We start with the client, the customer, and the goals. Before a single finish is selected, we define the experience the space needs to create.
02
Strategy
We set a design direction aligned to your brand, budget, operations, and long-term objectives. Decisions are intentional, not decorative.
03
Design Development
Space planning, materials, furniture, lighting, accessories, palettes, and styling — a complete package where every choice supports the story.
04
Procurement
We manage sourcing, purchasing, vendor coordination, and logistics so the design that was specified is the design that arrives on site.
05
Installation
Deliveries, installation, staging, punch list, and final styling. You receive a finished environment — not a room full of boxes.
In Their Words
Partners who keep coming back
“I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your hard work, dedication, and eye for details. You've truly been one of the few bright spots on this project. Your patience and reliability — two qualities I value greatly — have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for consistently delivering and being someone I can count on. I'm excited to see it all come together! Looking forward to continuing our work together.”
