About

Haylee Ahola is the Founder and Creative Director of The Gathering Co., a design-forward experiential studio specializing in event planning and creating immersive installations and thoughtfully curated gatherings. With her extensive background in architecture and interior design, along with 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 elegantly blends elevated aesthetics with intentional design, crafting environments that are not only beautiful but also deeply memorable. Committed to sustainable design, Haylee thoughtfully sources materials and repurposes decor whenever possible, believing that meaningful celebrations can also nurture a conscious approach to the environment.

Inspired by the need for 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. Whether for intimate celebrations or large-scale experiential environments, her goal remains consistent: to design spaces that foster connection and leave a lasting impression long after the event concludes.

The Gathering Co. is a design company specializing in event planning and interior design, combining architectural expertise with cutting-edge technology to create 3D models, renderings, and detailed drawing sets. We help clients dream bigger and turn their ideas into extraordinary, tangible realities, all while focusing on sustainable design principles.
