Hospitality Design: What I've Learned
In this series, Hospitality Design magazine's editor in chief Stacy Shoemaker Rauen talks with influential hotel and design leaders on how they got to where they are today, what drives them, and their biggest lessons learned navigating an ever-changing industry.
Hospitality Design: What I've Learned
Greg Bradshaw, Adam Farmerie, Kristina O'Neal, and William Harris, AvroKO
For more than two decades, AvroKO has pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a design firm. Founded by longtime friends Greg Bradshaw, Adam Farmerie, Kristina O’Neal, and William Harris, the multidisciplinary studio has earned a reputation for its richly layered interiors, holistic approach, and narrative-driven process.
From launching self-propelled projects like Ghost Donkey and Host on Howard to building enduring relationships with clients like 1 Hotels, AvroKO has remained steadfast in its desire to create spaces with soul.
During a keynote conversation at HD Expo + Conference this May, they opened up about their origins as university friends, the power of collaboration, their “magic paper” annual summits, and the lessons learned over 25 years of running a design-driven, people-first business.
