I founded Designs Daly in 2016 in Ventura, California, as a full-service design studio specializing in residential and commercial new construction, remodeling, and furniture and décor projects. I work with clients throughout Ventura County and Southern Santa Barbara County, guiding each project with thoughtful design solutions and hands-on project management.
Every project I take on is completed in strict accordance with California Building Codes for Interior Designers, as well as all relevant local regulations. This ensures that your space is not only beautiful but also safe, fully compliant, and professionally executed—making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
For me, creating an enjoyable design experience is just as important as the final result. From our first conversation to the final reveal, I prioritize clear communication, careful attention to detail, and collaboration with a trusted network of skilled professionals to support every step of your project.
I look forward to meeting you, learning about your vision, and helping you bring it to life with confidence, clarity, and ease.
ALYSSA DALY
Lead Designer & Owner
I lead Designs Daly here in Ventura, California. My career began in San Diego while studying at the Art Institute, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from its CIDA-accredited program. Before starting my own studio, I gained experience across a variety of firms, including a luxury staging and organizing company, high-end architecture and interior design studios, and design-build firms. I’ve been fortunate to work on projects throughout Southern California, as well as in Montana and Washington.
I’ve always been deeply fascinated by people—the way they live, work, and experience the world. I also believe that nature is foundational to our resilience, health, and well-being, and I make it a point to study the natural environment both in person and through literature and media. These insights shape how I approach every project, allowing me to create spaces that feel intentional, supportive, and deeply connected to those who live and work in them.
To me, every environment should support the people in it—in how they operate day-to-day, how they feel, what inspires them, how they rest, and how they grow. Interior design goes far beyond aesthetics; it’s about uncovering the purpose of a space and understanding the intentions of the people, families, or businesses it serves. My process is collaborative and thoughtful, a journey that transforms spaces into authentic, purposeful reflections of the people who inhabit them.
