Will Williams

INGENIO Founder

Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Studio Ingenio Founder and Principal Will Williams embarked upon an international career in Architecture, Design, and Interiors. Williams’ unique aesthetic perspective is defined by a sensitivity to the natural world and ecologically-minded design strategies shaped by organic principles and the surrounding environment.

After undertaking his formal training in Architecture in the Dominican Republic, Williams began his career with GVA (AD 100), one of the leading architecture firms in Latin America, where he designed luxury residences and villas, making use of the highest-quality materials and pieces.

Williams then expanded and deepened his practice and expertise in New York City, working on architecture and interior projects for a wide range of residential and hospitality firms like the James Beard Award-winning firm Design Bureaux.

Launching his independent studio in Harlem in 2017, followed by a second studio in Paris’ Marais in 2019, Williams has developed a wide-ranging roster of residential and hospitality projects, including interiors for the critically-acclaimed MOB Hotels (Bordeaux & Washington, DC), among other clients.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Interior Design
& Architecture

Hospitality sits at the center of our work. It informs how we think about space, how it is used, and how it is remembered.

This perspective extends beyond a single typology. Our experience across residential, commercial, and retail projects allows us to approach each space with a broader understanding, bringing the same level of care, clarity, and attention to detail regardless of context.

The result is a consistent approach, adapted to different environments, but always grounded in how people experience and inhabit space.
