Alexander Keith Powell, of A. Keith Powell Interior, in Miami, was recently named one of DCOTA's Stars on the Rise during the Stars of Design Awards. He goes by Keith for short, but his history in the industry is much longer. Here's more on Keith's experience in the industry and how his boutique firm got on its feet.
Upon starting his own display company and acquiring clients like Ralph Lauren, Gucci, and others of the like, Keith decided it was time to broaden his creative realm. Eventually, he was hired by a friend, a professional polo player, to decorate his estate in South Florida. From that point forward Keith never looked back. Following this design project, he quickly developed a strong and loyal client base in Palm Beach and the surrounding areas.
It was from that first project that Keith felt he had truly developed a “complete design” approach. Having such experience gave him the opportunity to encapsulate interior and landscaping design to create a singular vision from the driveway to the rear lawn.
A. Keith Powell Interior has recently relocated to Miami. Keith maintains a presence and works everywhere from Newport Beach, California, to Jamaica—where he recently completed a 20,000-square-foot project for a heavyweight boxing champion.
Keith has an innate ability to “push people’s limits beyond what they expect or accept within their own realm.” This philosophy and his design talent have allowed him to expand to places he never thought possible. “I am thrilled to say I really love what I do. As strange as this may have sounded to me 20 years ago, I can’t imagine doing anything else!”
Next week, Keith spends some time with us for a Q&A about the projects he's been busy with lately and what it's like to be a Star on the Rise.
