Excelsior Design was founded by Mustafa Kadıoğlu — an industrial engineer whose career has run along the seam where manufacturing, supply chains, and real estate meet.
He grew up in an industrialist family in İstanbul, where business meant knowing the factory floor as well as the balance sheet. He studied Manufacturing Systems Engineering at Sabancı University, earned a certificate in International Business Operations and Management from UC Irvine Extension, and has kept adding formal training in logistics, supply chain management, real estate development, and finance since.
He spent years in business development for his family's forest products company before moving into real estate development — coordinating projects, managing properties, and overseeing large-scale real estate portfolios.
That history explains how Excelsior works. Buying directly from quarries, kilns, and factories isn't a marketing line — it's the instinct of someone raised in manufacturing and trained in supply chain management. Running a remodel to schedule and budget isn't a promise — it's the same discipline at a different scale.
He came to North Texas in 2023 to build here. The idea for House of Motifs had been with him since 2008; it opened in Downtown McKinney sixteen years later. Since 2024 he has been building relationships across McKinney and the metroplex — and a working bridge between Turkish manufacturing and American projects.
He lives in North Texas with his wife and daughter.
