SENIOR DESIGNER
alley matarrita
Alley’s design career began in 2012 when she took a position with Ambrose Furniture Works, a full-service design firm and custom furnishing showroom, after earning her associate’s degree in Interior Design. In her seven years with the firm, Alley gained experience as both designer and showroom manager. From design to implementation, including project management and procurement, Alley built a diverse portfolio of work in Texas, Oklahoma and Illinois.
Alley’s childhood uniquely positioned her to appreciate luxury design. Growing up in her lakeside family home in Ohio, designed by Denise VanScoder-Williams of VanScoder Interiors, she was surrounded by the high level of design that she came to expect in her own work. Alley also had the privilege of enjoying time in her family vacation home, a multi-penthouse condo in Boca Raton, Florida, designed by AD100 Interior Designer Tessi Garcia. From the colonial revival style lake house in Ohio to the modern and technologically-advanced beachfront penthouse in Florida, Alley gained her appreciation for meaningful design, quality craftmanship and materials, and uniquely functional spaces. In her own design work, Alley adores the timeless look of cherished antiques and thoughtfully-procured original art, infusing them into any space. Her personal aesthetic is layered and storied, full of texture, color and pattern. However, her design work is highly-customized and purposed to express the innate and natural aesthetic of each client.
Alley is married to her husband of 16 years, David, and has two beautiful young children. Anyone who meets Alley knows that she loves dogs and particularly her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Hazen. Her family loves to spend their time together at home, with friends and at church. And they travel whenever they can! Both Alley and David are devoted to sharing God’s love in marriage ministry. Alley has a heart for women who have endured trauma and hopes to encourage them in their healing journey toward Christ!
