A native of Calgary, Canada and avid explorer, Alison journeyed from her native country to pursue dance and theater studies. After completing a national theatrical tour with the Montana Repertory Theatre, Alison moved to New York City, working in theater for ten years on a wide range of productions touring Los Angeles, New York City and London. It was while wandering the streets of London, when Alison realized what she loved most about her work: storytelling, choreography, harmony and guts, and thus began her new venture into interior design.
As an interior designer, Alison creates spaces that are playful, cheeky and unexpected, hallmarks that have come to define her style. Drawing inspiration from a myriad of places, from the mundane to the quirky; from color combinations dancing across her eyelids while being blinded in a dentist chair, to the textures of soft moss growing on rough stones in the Rocky Mountains. In an homage to her earlier career, elements of dance can be seen throughout Alison’s designs: bodies in space, motion and breath; infusing space with life, vitality and beauty. Drawn from the natural flow of movement, rhythm and music, Alison designs by instinct; bright and bold.
