Dr. Alphonso Buie

Dr. Alphonso Buie is an Atlanta-based Interior Designer, entrepreneur, and former hospitality professor who believes that peace within a space is intentionally created—not simply found.

As the founder of Place of Peace Interior Designs, Alphonso transforms residential and commercial spaces through thoughtful planning, refined aesthetics, and purposeful design. His work as an Interior Designer extends beyond selecting colors, furnishings, and finishes. He considers how people move through a space, how their surroundings make them feel, and how intentional interior design can promote comfort, connection, and peace.

Before becoming an Interior Designer, Alphonso taught hospitality at the college level. His experience as a professor gave him valuable insight into how people experience, navigate, and connect within shared environments. That understanding continues to influence the way he approaches every design project, allowing him to create spaces that are both visually appealing and responsive to the needs of the people who use them.

Education and mentorship remain important parts of Alphonso’s professional journey. He continues to encourage students and emerging professionals by sharing lessons drawn from his experience in teaching, entrepreneurship, creative leadership, and business development.

In addition to leading Place of Peace Interior Designs, Alphonso supports community initiatives and develops projects at the intersection of interior design, culture, and business innovation. Whether he is transforming a room, mentoring a student, or advancing a community project, he brings the same high standard to his work: do it right or do not do it at all.

As an Interior Designer, Alphonso invites clients to imagine more than a beautifully decorated environment. He works with them to create a place that reflects their identity, supports their needs, and brings a greater sense of peace into everyday life. His approach combines creativity with careful listening, helping each client turn a personal vision into a meaningful and functional space.

Alphonso’s message is simple yet powerful: peace is built, not found. Through his work as an Interior Designer, he demonstrates how the spaces around us can influence how we feel, connect, work, and live.
