Our CEO

Pocquilla J. McNeely is the CEO and  Principal Designer of Motif Design Associates, LLC located in Mobile, AL. Pocquilla is a graduate of Tuskegee University, where she received her Bachelor of Architecture degree.

Upon graduation in 2001, Pocquilla launched her career in Atlanta, GA, where she worked in the architecture industry specializing in commercial design. This included educational, retail and medical design.

After 13 years in the industry Pocquilla, like many others, found herself contemplating the best way to care for her aging parents. She decided to take a leave of absence from the traditional career path and moved to Mobile, AL to provide full-time care for her parents. As time went on and her parents' needs became greater, Pocquilla noticed their existing home was not accommodating for those needs. As such,  she decided to design a remodel and addition to their living space.

That experience guided her desire to open her own design firm to help others who may find themselves in similar situations. Whether it’s elderly clients who wish to age in place rather than move to an assisted living facility or nursing home, the newly disabled, wounded veterans wanting a living space that adjusts to their new normal or and easier home life for a disabled or impaired child.
