Head of Client Growth & Design
Alanah Dougan

Alanah’s love of design started young - much to the frustration of her parents, who regularly found hand-sketched bedroom redesign proposals scattered around the house, alongside second-hand furniture pieces she’d convinced her dad to help restore in the shed.

That early fascination with space, materials and transformation naturally evolved into a career in interior design, where she has now spent more than 12 years shaping commercial environments across a range of sectors.

Alanah began her career in high-end furniture and joinery, developing a strong appreciation for craftsmanship and detail, before discovering that the fast-paced world of commercial interiors was where she thrived most. Since then, she has built extensive experience across workplace, retail and commercial projects, with a particular passion for creating engaging spaces that bring brands and people together in meaningful ways.

Alongside her design expertise, Alanah also brings strong project management experience, allowing her to balance creativity with delivery and guide projects from concept through to completion with confidence and care.

Known for her collaborative nature and practical mindset, Alanah enjoys working closely with clients, consultants and teams to create spaces that feel both purposeful and enduring.
