Press Release
Fayetteville, Georgia’s, Only Commercial Interior Design Firm Invites the Community To Celebrate Their Grand Opening
January 2, 2024
[Fayettevile, GA]: Joscelin Mackey, Author, Principal Designer, and Founder of Accessible Design Studios, invites Atlanta-metro community to celebrate the studio’s grand opening at 120-A Commerce Circle on Jan. 4 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. ET.
The grand opening will include appearances from notable representatives including Fayetteville, GA, Mayor Edward Johnson, and World Changers Church International CEO and Minister Vernon Harrison. Attendees will also have the chance to participate in a virtual reality experience demonstrating the evolution of technology within the interior design industry and learn the evidence-based methodology behind her book; Designing for the Senses: Neuroscientific Exploration of Interiors, while enjoying hors d'oeuvres.
Mackey of Accessible Design Studios is one of the roughly 400 registered interior designers in the state of Georgia to receive a license from the Secretary of State to stamp their own non-structural construction drawings for building permits which represents a very small percentage of professional minority women commercial interior designers in the state to hold this designation. This certification is a major accomplishment for Mackey due to the statistic of there being less than two percent of Black interior designers in the United States, and only a handful of Black interior designers in the Atlanta-metro area as of 2023.
Mackey has also been a member of the Fayette County community for over 24 years, is the Director of Community Service for the Rotary Club of Fayetteville, a member of the Fayette Chamber of Commerce, a Professional Member of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), and a Member of Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW).
“Opening an interior design studio has been a longtime dream of mine and I’m honored to be part of a small number of Black interior designers in the country who were able to take interior design to the next level,” said Joscelin Mackey, Founder & Principal Designer of Accessible Design Studios. “I’m also appreciative of my clients who’ve trusted me with their vision for their businesses over the past 15 years. My clients have encouraged me to continue the work as a trailblazer in the interior design industry and I look forward to encouraging more up-and-coming Black interior designers to stake their claim in the industry.”
Mackey is proud to have her first brick and mortar location in her beloved city where she’s lived for more than 20 years and completed some of her first projects, including interior design of a local barber shop, pharmacy, and retail showroom over the past 15 years. Mackey’s projects expand to commercial buildings in the Atlanta-metro area and beyond, including medical spas, salons, medical offices, corporate offices, and more.
To help up-and-coming and experienced interior designers continue to grow in the industry, Mackey has developed a book titled “Designing for the Senses, a Neuroscientific Exploration of Interiors”. Mackey wrote this book to enlighten designers and design enthusiasts on the influence the built-environment has on the mental, emotional, and physiological well-being of its users. She also recognizes that the design of spaces is not merely an aesthetic endeavor but a powerful tool for shaping human experiences.
Mackey’s book can be purchased at the studio’s grand opening, on Amazon, or at accessibledesignstudios.com.
