Global interior architecture design firm Wilson Associates has announced that Roy Posey has joined its Dubai studio as design director. 

 

In his new role, Posey will oversee the studio’s design initiatives, projects, conceptualisation, and staffing, serving as a vital mentor to the growing Middle East-based design team. 

 

Bringing with him over 15 years of design experience, Posey will also represent the rapidly expanding studio at a host of industry events in and around Dubai, a statement said. 

 

Posey began his career in interior design conceiving restaurant and bar interior spaces, as well as high-end residential interiors. Leveraging that expertise, he brings a wealth of industry knowledge and a fresh perspective to Wilson Associates, following his previous leadership roles for noted international interior design firms such as Keane, where he was head of design; Hirsch Bedner Associates, Dubai; and the Honest Group. 

 

Posey is recognised throughout the industry for implementing functional design strategies, uniquely optimised for the needs of both leisure and business travellers. He is known for creating thoughtfully designed guest rooms and public spaces that encourage brand loyalty for his clientele, said the statement.
