About the Studio

Integrated Performance Design. Crafted to endure.

Hospitality and residential environments shaped through strategy, identity, material intelligence, and execution.
Foundation

We Build The Foundation First.

Most projects fail because decisions are made in the wrong order. Once embedded, they are difficult and costly to change.

Our work starts before design. We establish the conditions for performance and long-term success from the outset.

This foundation is shaped through market research and intelligence, business strategy, branding, and design thinking.

Led by founder experience, we work closely with our clients to define what must be right before anything is built.

Only then do we translate that foundation into space.

Methodology

A defined sequence.

Our work follows a defined sequence.

Each phase builds on the last, ensuring decisions are made at the right time and carried through without compromise.

Research and intelligence establish the conditions for success.

Strategy defines direction and viability.

Branding clarifies identity and narrative.

Design translates these into spatial experience.

Material and execution bring the work into form.

Nothing is developed in isolation. Each layer informs the next, creating alignment from concept through completion.

This is how we maintain clarity, reduce risk, and deliver environments that perform as intended.

The Studio

Textur operates as a globally connected studio across North America, Europe, and the Caribbean.

Our team brings together expertise across hospitality strategy, experience design, construction, advanced surface applications, and custom fabrication. Each project is supported by a unified team working in alignment from concept through execution.

We take on a limited number of projects, ensuring focus, control, and a high level of precision in everything we deliver.

Founder & Creative Director

Chelle Cannell

Chelle Cannell leads Textur with a focus on performance, material intelligence, and the integration of design, strategy, and execution.

Her work is shaped by a multi-generational background in architecture and design, combined with deep experience in branding, business strategy, and positioning developed in Silicon Valley. Over the course of her career, she has worked with Fortune-level companies and high-growth startups, helping define market strategy, positioning, and investment direction.

She approaches every project as a system. Concept, identity, material, and execution are developed together to ensure decisions are made with clarity and carried through without compromise.

She brings a strong focus on how restaurants operate in real conditions. From guest flow and service dynamics to revenue potential and decision sequencing, her work is grounded in the realities operators face under pressure.

Her background includes a decade in investment banking and trading, shaping a disciplined approach to risk, capital, and decision-making.

Her perspective on hospitality is also personal. Growing up around a culture of food and dining, she developed an early appreciation for how restaurants bring people together and create lasting experiences.

Her work is also informed by extensive global travel, shaping a deep appreciation for culture, hospitality, and how different environments influence experience.

Lead Interior Architect & Designer

Daria Grygorchuk

Daria Grygorchuk is an interior architect with extensive experience delivering high-end residential, boutique hospitality, and investment property projects.

With a multidisciplinary background spanning architecture and design, business and marketing, and hospitality, she brings a strategic, systems-led approach to developing environments that perform as powerfully as they are experienced.

Her expertise lies in creating fully custom interiors from the ground up — shaping each project as a cohesive system, from the overall spatial concept and architectural flow to the smallest bespoke element conceived specifically for its context.

Every element is considered in relation to identity, materiality, guest experience, and long-term performance, ensuring that each environment feels deeply resolved and entirely unique.

She plays a critical role in translating design intent into buildable, coordinated systems, aligning concept with construction realities, reducing friction during delivery, and protecting investment value from concept through completion. Her approach is defined by clarity, precision, and material intelligence, resulting in environments that are immersive, highly refined, and built to endure.

Her work is further shaped by extensive international project experience across diverse markets, bringing a strong sensitivity to cultural context, local identity, and the realities of global project delivery. Fluent in seven languages, she navigates collaboration across clients, consultants, and project teams with clarity and ease.

Why Clients Work With Us

Clients come to us when they want clarity, originality, and confidence in execution.

We think holistically, anticipate challenges early, and make informed decisions that protect design intent, budget, and timeline.
Our process is structured without being rigid. It allows for exploration while maintaining control. Because we design across architecture, surfaces, and furnishings, projects move forward with alignment from concept through completion.

The result is fewer compromises and environments that feel cohesive, intentional, and assured.

Our Vision

To create environments shaped by culture, experience, and intention, where design elevates how people live, gather, and connect.
