ALISON DESIGNS SPACES WHERE SHE

LIVES, TEACHES, WORKS & INVESTS

Alison's approach is deeply personal, reflecting her lifestyle and commitment to creating spaces that resonate with the essence of living, teaching, working and investing. Each space Alison moves into is infused with her own personality, transforming each one into environments that not only serve their functional purposes, but also embody her values and principles.

Vermont Farmhouse

FEATURED PROJECT

This charming Vermont farmhouse, dating back to the 1790s, is rich with history and context, but it needed a complete palette overhaul and new landscaping.

FEATURED PROJECT

Oak Hill Home

The historic home boasts high ceilings and an open floor plan, but a comprehensive renovation was needed throughout, including in the untouched attic and outside where an in-ground pool needed to be saved.

VIEW PROJECT

In front, a dark wooden table with vases of white and pink flowers, a small sign, and a flyer with 'Save the Date'.

JOURNALISM, SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP & DESIGN ENTHUSIAST

From the charm of New England's historic homes, and often forgotten places, to the modern demands of contemporary living, Alison’s designs are shaped by stories, culture and the natural world.

Influenced by vintage and contemporary elements, she blends history and modernity to craft environments that resonate with both the past and the present.


Alison's approach is infused with a deep understanding of the interconnected nature of design and human experience. By harmonizing form and function, she invites her friends and family to find joy, comfort and inspiration in their surroundings.

I love designing spaces that might be otherwise overlooked. Shri at 390 Pine Street was a blighted mill for 40+ years. Our Vermont Farmhouse was empty for even more! And our Oak Hill home desperately needed a refresh when we moved in. Transforming space is something that I live for because where you work and where you live should lift you up.
