About
Alex Shield Design is a sustainable interior design studio in Greater Montreal, founded by Alex Shield — a mom, LEED Green Associate, and WELL Accredited Professional with over 10 years of experience. After realizing how much waste the industry generates and how many common materials aren't safe for families, Alex launched her firm with a clear mission: create beautiful, non-toxic homes without compromising health, comfort, or the planet.
Every project blends conscious luxury with wellness-focused design — zero-VOC paints, sustainably sourced woods, natural textiles, and vintage finds chosen with intention. From nurseries to full-home renovations, Alex handles everything from concept to installation, so families can focus on what matters most.
