About
Design is strategy
Meet Angela
Two decades between design and real estate
I'm Angela Adams, founder of AKA Interiors. I grew up around blueprints and open houses — my parents were real estate brokers and home builders — and by the time I was studying interior design in college, I was already the lead designer for a custom home builder.
Over the next eighteen years I co-owned a brokerage with my mother, held real estate licenses in three states, and specialized in investment real estate, working with investors, banks, and hedge funds on renovations and new construction. I also served as a Tennessee State sworn property valuation expert witness.
That background is why we approach design the way an owner does. I know what a finish costs, what it returns, and what it does to a schedule — and I know the difference between a space that photographs well and one that performs.
In 2021, my husband's cancer diagnosis changed everything. After his passing in 2024, I chose to devote myself fully to the work I've always loved most. Every project is a gift, and I bring two decades of hard-won expertise to each one.
Today, I focus exclusively on interior design and procurement through AKA Interiors. While my real estate background continues to shape how I approach every project, my passion—and my full-time career—is creating thoughtful, high-performing spaces for my clients.
01
Experience
Twenty-plus years across corporate restaurant chains, world-renowned wedding venues, custom home building, and investment portfolios. That range is the point. A restaurant, a model home, and a multifamily community all need design that performs — they simply measure performance differently.
02
Accountability
Nearly all of our work comes from referrals — builders, brokers, and operators who hand us the next project. We earn it by sweating the details, protecting the budget, and delivering on the construction schedule.

Our Mission
Environments with purpose
Beautiful design is only the beginning. Great design changes behavior. Exceptional design creates reasons for people to return — and that is what AKA Interiors was built to do.
