Meet Andrei Subochev | Interior Designer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrei Subochev and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrei, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Opening my own studio allowed me to develop and communicate my design voice without compromise. It gave me the space to shape projects according to my values. And that creative independence became the foundation of my business. I realized early on that if you truly want to express your own style in interior design, the only real path is to build your own studio. Before launching my company, I worked for many different designers, each with their own philosophy. Some were committed minimalists, others loved ornate details, gold accents, and their own very specific interpretation of taste. Those experiences taught me an important lesson: when you join someone else’s firm, even if you bring fresh, thoughtful ideas, they often remain unheard. Interior design is deeply personal work. It’s handcrafted and intuitive. Your design philosophy grows from your life experience, your aesthetics, and the way you see beauty and comfort.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Interior Seasons Studio is built on a creative, deeply personal approach to design. I believe that every person is completely unique, and a home should reflect that individuality. Before beginning any project, I spend time truly getting to know my clients. How they live, what they dream about, what brings them comfort. People come to me specifically for my vision, and to express that vision authentically, I have to understand the soul behind the project. Architecture also plays a major role in the process. Often, the house itself suggests the right direction. The proportions, the light, the history, the details waiting to be rediscovered. I see my role as a translator between the client’s personality and the character of the architecture. When these two meet, the design becomes meaningful. If someone goes into design purely for the money, they will certainly find it. But that has never been my motivation. I’m driven by the ability to transform spaces in a way that gives people emotion. There is something extraordinary about watching a room that once felt empty and lifeless suddenly gain a soul. Because interior design, at its best, is a reflection of the person who lives there. Getting to where I am today wasn’t always easy. Building a business, especially in a creative industry, requires resilience, constant learning, and the courage to trust your own vision even when others don’t see it yet. I overcame challenges by staying loyal to that vision and by treating every project as an opportunity to grow. No matter the budget or scale.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting, I would want them to see Florida the way I see it. Through its architecture, its history, and the people who shaped it. I believe you can only truly understand a city, a region, or even a country by experiencing its best places and meeting the individuals who defined its character. So I would happily become their personal tour guide for the week. If we were in Miami, our first stop would be the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. A masterpiece that reveals how European traditions were reimagined in a subtropical landscape. In Palm Beach, I’d take them to the Flagler Museum and then for a long walk down Worth Avenue. Along the way, I’d tell them about Addison Mizner, the architect whose imagination essentially wrote the visual language of Boca Raton. So many things here are named after him for a reason. To truly appreciate Florida, you need to understand its history. Once you learn the stories and explore the landmarks, the place begins to open up to you. You start forming emotional associations. You start recognizing the cultural code that shaped the community. And for me, as a designer and an artist, this is the most exciting part — “reading” the architecture, letting it speak, and sharing that dialogue between the pedestrian and the urban environment. That’s what I would want my friend to experience. Not just beaches and restaurants, but the soul of this place. The architecture, the stories, and the people who built its identity.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’ve always been inspired by talented people. For some reason, my circle has almost always consisted of individuals much older than me. Being surrounded by artists, architects, musicians, and scientists made me want to rise to their level, not just in one field, but in every creative discipline at once. Of course, life eventually requires a choice, and mine was anything but pragmatic. I chose the creative path. And I was able to do that only because of the people who supported me throughout the journey. First and foremost, my parents, who have always believed in me and encouraged me no matter what direction I pursued. And, of course, my wife Anna, who has been by my side for the past seven years. Her support, partnership, and patience have played a huge role in everything I’ve been able to build. I truly owe so much of my story to the people who surrounded me with love and trust.
