The CKW Signature
Our Founder
Craig K. Whitehead is the founder of CKW Lifestyle & Associates and has almost single handedly created a brand for living with Interior Design, decor, furniture and Events. In his own words - a celebration of life and good living.
His drive and passion as a designer (and so much more), brings a deeply spiritual and transparent ethic to his work and the quality he pursues is testament in the distance to which he goes to encourage all those around him to live better and live well.
Craig is a full professional Member of the IID Professions.
Our Vision and Mission
At CKW Lifestyle, our mission is to design spaces that are comfortable, personal, and inspiring. We believe that great interior design is not just about beauty, but about art with purpose—crafted to enrich the way you live, work, and play.
Grounded in both design and architecture, our work reflects a refined eye for colour, materiality, and form. Every project is guided by discipline, creativity, and a passion for excellence.
We are not only designers; we are artists and creators of lifestyle. From private residences to leisure and commercial spaces, our vision is always the same: to create environments that enhance life and elevate experience.
As a progressive creative firm, we extend our design philosophy into the creation of bespoke furniture collections, tailored exclusively for each project, ensuring individuality and timeless style.
