About
Haylee Mae
Haylee Ahola is the Founder and Creative Director of The Gathering Co., a design-forward experiential studio creating immersive events, installations, and thoughtfully curated gatherings. With a background in architecture, interior design, and large-scale event production, Haylee approaches each project through the lens of spatial storytelling—carefully considering atmosphere, flow, texture, and the emotional experience of a space.
Her work blends elevated aesthetics with intentional design, creating environments that feel both beautiful and deeply memorable. Rooted in sustainability, Haylee thoughtfully sources materials, repurposes decor whenever possible, and believes meaningful celebrations can also be conscious ones.
Inspired by the idea that people crave connection and escape in an increasingly busy world, Haylee founded The Gathering Co. to create spaces where people can slow down, gather beautifully, and fully immerse themselves in the moment. From intimate celebrations to large-scale experiential environments, her goal is always the same: to design spaces that bring people together and leave a lasting feeling long after the event ends.
