Welcome

“As a resident of the world of design since birth, I’d like to take some time to celebrate some of the people and things in that world that I admire. I hope you come along for the ride. And, as my name has really taken a beating these last couple of years, -thank you Mr. Bezos, - feel free to think of me here by my nickname: Lex. And, please also enjoy this completely un-recognizable and years old headshot.” - Alexa Hampton

If you could have a second home anywhere, where would you live? Sardinia, Italy

What are three words to describe your style?

    • Layered

    • Soulful

    • Collected

Tell us about your childhood bedroom? My father had a deep appreciation for interior design, and when I was 12, he decided to transform our garage into my bedroom. What he created was unlike anything I had seen—a beautifully considered space with white oak bookshelves, a vintage travertine console displaying my most treasured possessions, and crisp linen bedding. It was effortlessly chic, yet warm and deeply personal. That room shaped my eye for design at an early age, teaching me how the raw beauty of natural materials, thoughtful details, and simplicity could evoke emotion and transform the way a space makes you feel. Looking back, I realize it was my first introduction to the power of emotionally driven design.

What’s the first investment piece you ever bought for your house? An Andy Warhol Limited edition Chanel Print 

In the history of design, if you could hire any designer other than yourself, who would it be? Kelly Wearstler 

No room is complete without styling accessories.

People think of me as confident and fearless, but I am really someone who feels the fear and chooses to chase the dream anyway

Things you omit from:

Biggest Vice? Shopping Vintage I dont need 

If you were on an Ambien high and internet shopping, what would you buy? A custom dining table with custom brass inlays from Sawkille.

Do your clothes reflect your design sensibility, if so, how? I wear a lot of vintage thrifted clothing mixed with modern new pieces to give it a more layered and interesting look, so I would say yes! 

Who is your star crush? Jacob Elordi

What is the thing you would never do on a project, but don’t detest when you see others do it?  Trying to wrap my brain around a cabinet front as a curtain skirt, seems like it would get fussy but I love it visually 

What design book do you find yourself going back to again and again? Axel Vervoordt Wabi Inspirations

For posterity, what would you like your work to be known for?  Emotionally driven interiors that tell a story and make you want to stay
