Interaction, the leading UK workplace design and build company, has promoted Pamela D’Alessandro to a newly created design director role to oversee the firm’s creative vision and strategy.
Pamela joined Interaction’s design team in 2020, having previously worked for international architecture and design practices in London including HLW.
She has played a key role in delivering future-proof workplaces for Interaction’s clients, including leading flexible office operators and law firms, that foster wellbeing and collaboration.
Pam’s recent projects include FOUNDRY’s new coworking hub in East Sussex which is part of the flagship Hove Gardens development. Accommodating up to 300 coworkers, the state-of-the-art office facilities include private offices, soundproof booths, breakout spaces and wellness suites.
Pamela began her interior design career in 2013 with a leading design agency in her native Canada where she worked on high-profile projects including The Mall of America.
After moving to Europe, Pamela specialised in high-end workspaces for fintech and financial services clients, becoming an expert in agile workspaces for clients including Google and its London Incubator Hub, Warner Bros and Pernod Ricard.
In her new role as Interaction’s design director, Pamela will be responsible for developing Interaction’s award-winning design team, ensuring the firm continues to provide innovative design solutions to the evolving workplace challenges that businesses face.
Pamela said: “We have such a talented and creative group of designers here at Interaction who care passionately about what they do and are obsessed with detail – not only from a design perspective but also from a technical and sustainability point of view.
“I’m proud to have been given the job of leading this exceptional team as we deliver ever larger and more complex national projects. Diversification and expansion into other sectors will be key elements of our future growth strategy.”
Dieter Wood, Interaction’s CEO, said: “Pamela has been an integral part of our design team for nearly five years, and has demonstrated outstanding creativity, commitment and leadership. So, she’s a perfect fit for the newly created role of design director.
“She’ll be bringing her considerable design knowledge and experience to this important role, helping us capitalise on the growing demand for high-quality, flexible and people-first workspaces across the UK.”
