I recently sat down with one of my favourite interior designers, Calgary-based Alykhan Velji. I have been following Aly’s work since I saw his amazing bathrooms at the Calgary Home and Interior Design Show several years back. Aly was kind enough to take a moment from his busy schedule to answer a few questions.
When did you know you wanted to get into design?
I’ve always been creative. Initially it was fashion design that struck my curiosity but then I fell into interior decorating and loved it. I think being creative lends itself to doing so much and this is just one outlet for me. (Aly also blogs, visit alyveljidesigns.blogspot.com.)
