TIPLER Design’s projects are based on strong design concepts and the cohesiveness of both architecture, design and construction.

Each of TIPLER’s designs are created stylistically and functionally with the objective of being everlasting with unparalleled craftsmanship.

She is known for her innovative interiors, her outstanding client focus and commitment to each project. Alexa’s rare ability to connect deeply with clients allows her to see their visions as if they were her own, while also applying the critical ability to avoid trend-led designs and instead create designs with timelessness and longevity. Her professional experience spans from high-end residential to hospitality project types including luxury resorts, commercial offices, and historic boutique hotel renovations. She is a natural leader and client advocate.

Stephen Laney, Head Architect, AIA

Bringing a diverse background in Interior Design and Architecture, Stephen Laney leads TIPLER Design’s Architecture division. A licensed Architect in Texas and Colorado, Stephen earned his Interior Design degree from The University of Alabama (CIDA and NASAD Accredited), with a heavy focus on sculpture and the visual arts. He received his Master of Architecture degree from the University of Colorado (NAAB accredited). Stephen is also a TREC certified Professional Real Estate Inspector in the State of Texas. He is experienced in both Commercial and Residential design and construction.

“I try to never forget that especially with regards to our residential projects, a home isn’t just a home to my client, it is a vessel to create memories. This is important and keeps me moving forward to the next.”
