Andrea Auchinleck
INTERIOR DESIGNER + PRINCIPAL
Andrea is a food-loving garden enthusiast. She deeply admires the experimentalism of the Bauhaus period, citing it as a true break from all historical design trends. The clean, modern lines of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier continue to inspire her even today.
Andrea discovered her craft at a tender age. As a 10 year-old, she watched the construction of her family’s home and became fascinated with the plans, models, and endless swatches of colour. Andrea decided to make interior design her future career and subsequently attended the Design Institute of San Diego, where she completed a degree in Fine Arts.
An internship at Calgary-based firm Cohos Evamy helped launch her career. She then accepted a position in San Diego before returning to Canada five years later as the newest member of the prestigious Portico Design Group. After completing her NCIDQ exam, Andrea struck out on her own and launched Curve Interiors.
Today, with more than 10 years of industry experience and an intimate understanding of the construction process, her mandate is to deliver great value through outstanding results. She is a detail-oriented, problem-solver with a love for clean, modern lines and great art.

The area rug! From handmade creations in ancient times to now, they function like art, lending character and interest to a room.
