Founded in 2019 in Charlottesville, VA, FIDA DESIGN INC., formerly known as AIMA Consulting, began with a bold vision to redefine interior and product design by blending creativity, functionality, and cultural richness. The firm’s story is deeply rooted in the journey of its Co-founder and Design Partner, Kelly Dowd, a Nigerian-American designer and artist, with an exceptional talent for design, innovation, and artistry. Kelly’s creative path began in Nigeria, where they designed their first furniture collection, igniting a passion for transforming spaces and crafting unique products that enhance how people live.
With advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins University (MBA) and the Maryland Institute College of Art (MA) in Design and Innovation, Kelly bridges architectural expertise, sustainability, and forward-thinking innovation. Their ability to envision and execute spaces that seamlessly blend aesthetics, functionality, and personal expression has made FIDA DESIGN INC. a leader in creating transformative environments.
From renovations that breathe new life into homes to bespoke decorations that tell a story, Kelly’s work reflects a keen eye for detail, a dedication to craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of client needs. These talents, paired with Kelly’s global experiences and Nigerian roots, form the cornerstone of FIDA’s integrative and thoughtful approach to design.
