ALISON BOLOGNA

Since moving to New England from New York City in 2002, Alison has personally designed every space she has lived and worked in including: a residential loft, an urban outreach yoga studio, a city home with a secret pool garden, a Vermont farmhouse, and now a 15,000 square foot industrial mill.

Alison has been known to dig through mills, artist studios, flea markets, friend's homes and garages for the “perfect” finds, and thanks to this "digging" skill, she is well equipped through a network of partners (most often her husband, Dave!) to amplify any space into something special with hard work and passion. 

While Alison has earned degrees from Northwestern, Columbia and Harvard Universities, she has never attended a formal design school. Instead, she lets her personal taste, intuition and curiosity drive her to explore space. 

Alison lives in Rhode Island and Vermont with Dave and their two dogs: Betty and Basil.

Alison Bologna is a local news anchor and social entrepreneur in Rhode lsland who also likes to play with her love for interior design.

“If you know me, you know I love a good collaboration & work colleagues often become some of my best friends.”

Embraces a holistic approach that celebrates authenticity, functionality, and the stories that make spaces uniquely personal and deeply meaningful.
