Ali Kirby Studio

In Ali, I believe I found the Unicorn Designer/PM! The perfect blend of someone with very cool design ideas coupled with the ability to take care of all the details. Quite a rare, impressive and precious combo. Ali managed a significant project for me in Dublin, while I watched on from the side lines in London. This long-distance engagement meant that I needed to place a huge amount of trust in Ali, which paid off in spades (and some!). Her style is very much about Pull v Push, as evidenced through her strong desire to understand my vision for what I wanted to achieve. She is an active listener, who asks questions to understand, rather than to simply impose. My ideas were only ever made better and augmented by Ali's inputs. All the fresh thinking that she brought into the mix was shared positively, enthusiastically, and sensitively. Ali sourced and managed all the trades people who worked on the project, and she only ever works with the best. A complete stickler for the highest standards of output from contractors and suppliers, a standard that she relentlessly applies to herself. Ali’s very natural skill is in envisioning how colour, texture, light and shape can be combined and expressed to create beautiful spaces. She was extremely diligent in seeking my approval and sign-off on all major design and cost decisions. Ali's artistic and creative background meant that she was also able to assist me in respect of understanding the contemporary Irish art scene, including taking up the role of art buyer and commissioner for several pieces. Ali was always very thorough and clear in how she communicated with me, which was critical to building such a positive working partnership. To anyone who is considering engaging Ali's services, I cannot recommend her highly enough - she’s just a very good, very talented, and a very nice person.

Ali is professional and excellent value. She came to our home and spent time listening to our needs and going through the finest details of how we use our space. Her advice was exactly what we were looking for and helped us renovate our kitchen and improve our bedrooms. She has agreat eye for colour and light too. She followed up on any queries very quickly and had recommendations for suppliers. Our job was quite small, but I felt Ali gave it alot of attention. I have already recommended Ali to my brother and would recommend her service. It is excellent value for money.

I found Ali excellent to work with. She has a very warm and engaging personality. She listens not just to what you want for a particular room, but also how you use your whole house. It meant that her recommendations worked well with the rest of the house, and ensured that we got the best use out of every room. She has great taste in what she chooses. I would not hesitate to recommend her.. Marie

Ali was very easy to work with. Great sty and subtle choices have really made the interior for my house that’s been missing , Ali really listens to what you want and steers you in a direction with choices that will be timeless and flow through the house. Would definitely work with her again and I highly recommend you do too!

Ali very quickly understood exactly what I was hoping to achieve. She maintained this style consistency in all aspects of the design- from the wall colours and furniture to the lighting and rug choices. Ali is a great communicator and is always quick to reply to questions and queries. She has an amazing understanding of colour and is really helpful in terms of decision making to select the correct tones that f low together throughout the house to create a cohesive design. I would recommend Ali if you need a helping hand to create a beautiful space with ease.

Ali was amazing! She helped me to select colours for the redecoration of my living and dining spaces. I would never have chosen the colours she selected, particularly a vibrant blue for the dining space. I went with her advice, adore the colours and feel like I'm living in a new house. I have plans for other areas of the house and will definitely be consulting Ali before I make any decisions.
