kevie murphy

principal designer

Kevie Murphy is the founder and principal of k.a. murphy interiors, a full-service design firm focused on high-end residential interiors. In Kevie’s interiors, function dictates and informs, while beauty always transcends. Balancing both, in striking and elevated ways, is fundamental to her vision.

Design wasn’t Kevie’s first career. Growing up in Port Jefferson Station, New York, Kevie went to Boston University and then attended law school. This led to her working as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn, after which she entered the private sector and became a partner at a New York City firm.

It was when Kevie and her husband purchased a Brooklyn Heights home that required extensive renovation, that she realized her passion for interior design and enrolled at the New York School of Interior Design.

Everything has brought Kevie to this moment: her passion, her enthusiasm, and her ability to connect with people, which she uses, today, to help make people’s lives better. This starts with her own life: 1 husband, 4 kids, and 3 houses. All of which Kevie sees as “ongoing, always changing, and forever works in progress.” They’re also the perfect examples of what Kevie means when she says, “Home is your memory maker.”

alyssa devoe

senior designer

For as long as she can remember, Alyssa has been drawn to the creative side of life. Translating passion into career came when she left Long Island’s north shore, where she was raised, and traveled up the coast to study Interior Design and Public Relations at the University of Rhode Island.  Beyond growing her knowledge of design through her formal studies, Alyssa was also developing her design aesthetic through her work for an antiques dealer with ties to the Newport mansions. Later, her work with the Hampton Designer Showhouse allowed Alyssa to experience a variety of styles, techniques and practices.

Today, as Senior Designer at K.A. Murphy Interiors, Alyssa brings her combined experiences and applies them to create interiors beautifully tailored to each client’s needs…and desires. From conceptualization to installation, Alyssa ensures that the firm’s projects are brought to life in the way they were envisioned. Achieving that requires her careful attention to detail, and thoughtful attention to the relationships that make a project thrive.
