Scott Laslie (Co-Founder and Creative Director)
A native of Georgia and a long time resident of Atlanta, Scott Laslie’s career in interior design began with fine arts training at Mercer University and interior architecture studies at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. Scott then spent five years apprenticing and training in Atlanta with renowned interior designer Stan Topol, whose career started with legendary designer Billy Baldwin. It is there that Scott began to learn about world class interior design, and the foundation that set his style.
Scott partnered with architect Mark Williams and co founded Laslie-Williams Architectural Design and Interiors. During the ten years they were partners, they grew Laslie-Williams into one of the most respected and well known design firms in the greater Atlanta area with clients that spanned across the country.
In 2007, Scott opened his own interior design company, Scott Laslie Design. Known for his timeless, sophisticated design style and relaxed southern charm, he has created some of the most beautiful homes in the country, tackling both traditional and contemporary projects. Scott helped create Found Market™ to share his knowledge and style solutions to a broader audience.
Alex Guerrero (Co-Founder and President)
Growing up in California, Alex Guerrero was majoring in marketing at San Francisco State University when his 20 year career in fashion began. His experience spans from high end retail with the iconic San Francisco men’s store, Wilkes Bashford to design, product development and merchandising with companies like The North Face and for many years with Levi Strauss and Co. as one of their top executives. Most notably he was Vice President of Merchandising for the Dockers® Brand, where he led the growth and brand’s popularity with men across the country. He is passionate about product and connecting with consumers through the brand experience.
Alex's career nurtured his love and awe of design, craftsmanship and art, moving beyond fashion into his own home with an affinity toward mid-century modern furniture and collecting “found” art, some from galleries, but mostly from flea markets and second hand stores.
When he and Scott decided to develop Found Market™, Alex applied his knowledge of developing brands, consumer experience, marketing and customer service to create this new web-based experience that communicates their love of interior design and personal style.
