ALI KHAN
Creative Head
Ali Khan is an artist and a designer. Khan founded AK Studio in 2016 after moving back from Toronto. He received his Bachelors in Visual Arts from the University of Windsor Ontario and graduated in Interior Design from International Academy of Design - Toronto.
“I believe my experiences and international background influenced my work,” says AK. “I love the materiality, scale, and details in Contemporary aesthetics and the rustic landscapes. Plus when I travel I love walking around the city and visiting all the galleries, museums, and design districts which helps inform my knowledge base and cultivates my eye.”
Now, Khan is firmly established as one of the leading interior designers of Pakistan and is dedicated to creating glamourous spaces that blend elegance and ease, sophistication and warmth.
Inspired by the works of Anish Kapoor and a great admirer of artists such as Peter Marino and James Turrell, Khan’s work aims to reflect the same diversity as his inspirations.
