HRH Alanoud Khalid Mishaal

HRH Alanoud Khalid Al Mishaal is a Saudi interior designer whose work celebrates cultural dialogue between heritage and modernity. Founder of A Interiors, she creates spaces that are rooted in memory yet open to the future, blending natural textures, vintage elements, and refined simplicity. Her interiors reflect a deep respect for Saudi craftsmanship and a belief that design should carry meaning, not just style.In this conversation, Anoud shares the story of how her studio began almost by accident during her MBA, how her mother shaped her eye for design, and how travel continues to broaden her creative language. She speaks about her exhibition at the Venice Architecture Biennale, where she reimagined traditional motifs within a Venetian palazzo fresco, and about the growing Middle Eastern voice in global design. We talk about her Riyadh home, where heirloom pieces and personal memories come together, her views on the new generation of Saudi women leading creative businesses, and why she believes heritage and sustainability must move forward together.Podcast Highlights:• Founding A Interiors during her MBA and growing through word of mouth• Travel as an evolving source of inspiration• The influence of her mother’s eye for design• Heritage as a living and renewable source of creativity• Representing Saudi Arabia at the Venice Architecture Biennale• Sustainability through reuse and storytelling• The rise of female leadership in Saudi design• The emotional language of natural materials• Balancing growth while keeping creative intimacy• Future ambitions: meaningful projects and boutique hotelsFollow A Interiors on InstagramFollow Sotokler Studio on InstagramDiscover more episodes at sotoklerstudio.com/sotoklersessions
