Al’s interest in design began in childhood, sitting at the drawing board with his uncle. That, combined with his family’s interest in an eclectic mix of art, colors and antiques, fed his desire to become a designer.

Working in a wide variety of disciplines, he has owned several businesses including several entrepreneurial efforts in design. Al’s first experience as a sole proprietor and owner began with Landscape Design, Construction and Maintenance from 1989 to 1994 where he specialized in residential and commercial landscapes. In running the business, he worked alongside builders and architects to fulfill the needs of clientele gardens and outdoor spaces.

In 1999, Al moved to Canada to further his design education and experience within a new culture. While there, he helped to develop a thriving Interior Design and Events coordination business. Another exciting part of the work in Canada included the time he spent teaching Color Theory & Artistic Concepts at Mount Royal College. As a colorist, it was very fulfilling sharing his experience and color expertise.

While in Canada, Al spent 6 years as co-owner of a highly successful commercial and residential Interior Design Firm, where he was also in charge of the residential Interior Design department. With a staff of 4, he provided project management, color selections/consulting, furniture specification, finishing details, contract administration, tendering, project scheduling, expenditure forecasting, and site supervision.

Today, he owns ALFRED Interior Design Consultants and
Events Coordination, or simply “ALFRED”. Having
branched out and opened the company in Calgary in 2002,
he brought it to Dallas in July of 2004. ALFRED specializes
in meeting the needs of project management, residential &
commercial interiors, color consultations, holiday décor,
garden and outdoor spaces, complete events coordination,
full service events for corporate parties, weddings and
personal celebrations.
