Meet Amit Apel of Apel Design in Malibu

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amit Apel.

As a gifted fifth-generation exterior and interior designer, Amit Apel arrived on the sunny shores of Southern California in 1999 after having been raised in Africa, Israel and throughout Europe. Upon his arrival, Amit purchased a modest Honda Magnum motorcycle to travel across the USA for three months. After his adventurous, cross-country tour and with little means, he opened a humble, 100 sq. ft. art studio within a locksmith shop on the beaches of Malibu, California and instantly became a local, buzz-worthy artist. Amit’s acrylic and oil paintings that were showcased in this very small shop quickly catapulted into high demand by local, celebrity clients who still treasure his paintings and collect his growing body of art design works ranging from paintings, sculptures, jewelry, apparel and home and outdoor décor and furnishings. With his savvy entrepreneurial determination inspired by his passionate drive to design and produce as a way of life, Amit founded Amit Apel Design, Inc.® in 2000. This boutique, custom design firm now based in Woodland Hills, California has a well-established, stellar reputation that has been built over the years on a vast array of award-winning commercial and residential and interior designs that now span across Europe, Asia, South America as well as across the US.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Like anything in life, sometimes there are struggles but overall luck has been on my side with a lot of love to what I do and dedication things have always worked out for the best.

So, let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Apel Design Inc story. Tell us more about the business.
The best thing about my business is my crew, the trust of clients, and of course the ability to transform some major landscaping into architectural icons all around the world. I specialize in solving problems and designing outside of the box.
