Cornelia Sterl
SENIOR DESIGN COLLABORATOR
Growing up near Leipzig, Germany, in a family of carpenters, Cornelia was strongly influenced by her proximity to the origins of the Bauhaus movement, with its combination of craft and fine arts. She intuitively developed a fundamental belief in the interplay between aesthetics and functionality, placing an equal amount of importance on both throughout her studies.
Practicing architecture and interior design as an integral part of each other, Cornelia spent several years based in California developing high-end residential and hospitality projects. Prior to establishing her own studio, Cornelia worked alongside Nicoletta Canesi, leading studio Lissoni Associati's New York office on several high-profile projects.
With such valuable design experience, See Arch looks forward to every opportunity to work with Cornelia in creating stunning spaces.
Alex Kail
DESIGN COLLABORATOR
Alex contributes to See Arch work with a refreshingly positive attitude. Our Bay Area-based team lives vicariously through his world travels while he pursues an enviable balance between work and personal projects. Alex's keen eye for design and eagerness to learn means he is a valuable member of each project he participates on.
When not working in his architectural day-job, you may find Alex restoring old cars, spending time outdoors in Montana or adventuring in some far-off dreamscape.
