Alfredo Paredes, a prominent interior designer known for his work with Ralph Lauren, including the Polo Bar, transitioned to create his own studio after 34 years at the company. Throughout his career, he held significant roles, culminating in chief creative officer. After realizing the corporate environment's stress didn't suit him, particularly after the birth of his child in 2014, he took a year off before launching his studio. His new book, 'Alfredo Paredes at Home,' provides insight into his design philosophy and residences, marking a new chapter in his career as he shares advice for budding creatives.
Ralph is like a father figure to me. If he connects with you creatively, he gets very excited and it allows you to go for it and do amazing things.
After 34 years, I realized I didn't want to work in such a gigantic corporate environment... so I decided to exit, take a year off to spend time with my family.
