Alessandra Mayo
I am a multidisciplinary designer, with a love for creating expressive and captivating interior spaces that tell a story about ourselves, our culture, place and history.

I thrive in collaborative environments, especially where design meets customer experience. I’m looking forward to jumping into an exciting role where I can contribute my residential design experience, customer service background, my bold ideas and passion for design to a range of projects and a vibrant team culture. I see myself pursuing work in hospitality or residential design, but I also have a passion for event design/planning and crafting temporary spaces/exhibitions.
Looking For a Mentor
I am looking out for a mentor to help and support me in navigating design pathways and making industry connections. I would also love some mentorship on my design portfolio. I am particularly interested in working in hospitality or residential design, but I am also very interested in getting into event design/planning and crafting temporary spaces/exhibitions.

Showcase

Gutter Art

An innovative gallery and retail space celebrating the process of immersive storytelling through expressive line drawings, known as manga. The phrase “gutter art” refers to art that exists outside conventional norms of typical art practices. Similar to ‘gutter art,’ manga is an often undervalued and underappreciated art form entrenched within consumer culture. Gutter art explores the concept of “gutter” operating at different scales, both conceptually and physically. The space includes various frameworks and grids that represent the idea that manga lacks inauthenticity due to its highly accessible nature. These grids also reflect the physical layout of Newmarket, highlighting the placement of the gallery, embedded within Auckland city’s urban fabric.
