About Ray Booth
An Alabama native and alumnus of Auburn University's School of Architecture, Ray Booth launched his career with McAlpine. Moving to New York soon after, he had successful tenures in the offices of such distinguished design talents as John Saladino and Clodagh. A decade later, reuniting with Bobby McAlpine, his former professor, Ray returned to McAlpine as a partner in his interior design firm. These days, Ray divides his time between the firm's Nashville office and its expanded New York office, which allows him to keep one foot in the city and the other in his native south.
A member of the prestigious AD100 list of top designers, Ray is the author of Evocative Interiors, his bestselling first book published by Rizzoli in 2018. Ray's received significant recognition from the nation's most prestigious publications, including covers of Architectural Digest and features in Elle Dcor, Veranda, Milieu, Wall Street Journal, and Vogue. With an undimmed passion for beauty, Ray shares his life and homes in New York and Nashville with his husband John Shea.
