Hi, I'm Alivia
I'm a Nashville designer and art director. I shape how a space feels, how a brand looks and how an event comes together, and I stay with it until it's done.
I'm the friend who spots the trend six months early and already knows which restaurant patio has the best light for five o'clock drinks. Somewhere between the mood boards and the call sheets I learned the secret: the beautiful part and the logistics part are the same job.

About
My work sits where space, image and logistics meet. Studying fine art gave me the eye, interior design in three cities gave me the discipline, and production work with national brands taught me how to make big ideas happen on deadline.
Today I partner with brands, small businesses and fellow creatives in Nashville and remotely, as the person who turns the vision into a plan and the plan into the real thing.
My own practice: space planning, mood boards, sourcing, ordering and installs for residential clients.
Custom closets, laundry rooms, wall beds and cabinetry, from consultation and design drawings to branded presentations and pricing.
Space planning, sourcing and installs for residential projects.
Brand identities, workbooks, decks and collateral for small businesses and wellness brands.
Concept, activations, floor plans and run of show for the closing event.
Junior producer and production assistant on runway shows, shoots and festivals.
Local know-how
I know Nashville's makers, venues, hotels and restaurants as a regular and a partner, so the right vendors are a text away.
