Alex Kriss

Founder, DesignScape Luxury Travel

I started DesignScape to offer a more personal approach to travel — one that’s thoughtful, unhurried, and centred around what matters most to each client. I work primarily by referral, supporting individuals, families, and organizations in planning meaningful time away, whether that’s a multi-generational journey, a private cultural experience, or simply space to slow down and reconnect.

My background is in hospitality, and that still guides everything I do. I spent over a decade managing restaurants, where attention to detail, anticipating needs, and creating ease for guests was second nature. That same approach carries into my travel work — thoughtful, clear, and focused on making people feel genuinely looked after and understood.

I’ve lived in Portugal and Ireland and spent time exploring parts of Europe, North America, and beyond. But the focus is never on where I’ve been; it’s on learning what feels right for you and building a trip around that. I don’t believe in overpacking itineraries or following trends. Instead, I listen closely and design travel that reflects who you are, what you value, and how you want to spend your time.
