Galey Alix shares how losing her job, fiancé, and health led her from Goldman Sachs to HGTV and into building a design business rooted in emotional room transformations.
Galey Alix had spent 13 years building a career at Goldman Sachs when her life changed in a single day: she lost her job, her fiancé, and her health. In the middle of that grief, the home she had been renovating for a future that no longer existed became the start of something else.
What began as a way to heal turned into viral weekend room reveals, a TV show, and Galey Alix Design, a business built around emotional transformations, product partnerships, licensing deals, and a Shopify storefront where fans can shop her projects.
In this episode of Shopify Masters, Galey shares how she rebuilt her life through design, what Wall Street taught her about storytelling and sales, and why the best brands make people feel something first.
