Get to Know Nink Design Studio
Thoughtful, approachable design rooted in real life.
I’m Alexis
Founder. Designer. Problem Solver.
I’m Alexis Nink, founder and principal designer of Nink Design Studio. My approach is rooted in one core belief: great design solves problems beautifully. For more than a decade, I’ve guided families, professionals, and small businesses through thoughtful transformations - from full-scale renovations to master plans and highly strategic refreshes.
My background blends creative vision with a strong operational mindset. Before launching Nink Design Studio, I spent years leading teams, building systems, and managing complex projects in high-expectation environments. That experience shapes the way I design today, bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to a process that often feels overwhelming for clients.
I’m known for quickly identifying what isn’t working, articulating the “why,” and translating functional needs into design solutions that feel effortless, intuitive, and deeply personal. Clients trust me to bring order to complexity and to create plans that elevate both the space itself and the everyday life happening within it.
My work is grounded in authenticity, empathy, and joy - values that guide every presentation, every decision, and every relationship I build. Whether I’m designing a calm, organized family home or a high-performing commercial environment, my goal is always the same: to create interiors that support the people who use them in meaningful, lasting ways.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me in the garden, refining a project in my own home, or planning our next family adventure.
Design help that meets you where you are.

What Sets Nink Design Studio Apart
Design as problem solving
We don’t start with a look. We start with an equation - your space, your life, your budget, and your constraints - and design solutions that bring those elements into alignment.
Clarity without overwhelm
From early planning to final decisions, our process is structured, transparent, and calm.
Thoughtful use of budget
We help clients understand where to spend, where to save, and where flexibility makes sense - especially for mid-size projects and evolving life stages.
A process that respects real life
Our goal is to reduce disruption, protect your time, and make the experience as smooth as possible.
Approachable design expertise you can trust.
Our Process
Every project starts with a conversation. Whether you need comprehensive design services or a clear plan to move forward, our process is designed to bring clarity early and support you at the level that makes sense for your goals, budget, and timeline.
A clear path forward - without pressure.
Introductory Call
A complimentary phone conversation to learn about your project, answer initial questions, and determine whether we’re a good fit.
Design Discovery Session
An in-home consultation to explore how your space functions, discuss priorities, and identify opportunities. This is where ideas take shape and next steps become clear.
Your Project, Your Way
From there, you choose the service that best supports your needs—whether that’s ongoing design guidance or a focused plan you can implement on your own.
Professional Collaboration
We collaborate with a small group of builders and trades who value planning, communication, and quality execution.
Strong collaboration behind the scenes supports smoother projects, clearer expectations, and better outcomes for everyone involved.
