About Me


Hello, I'm Alison. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my design background. I was born and raised in Chicago and spent 12 years there before my family moved to Southern California, where I lived most of my life. Now I live in Scottsdale, Arizona, where there are over 330 sunny days per year. When I'm not working, I'm usually out hiking, off-roading, or camping with my German Shorthaired Pointer named Ranger.

I graduated from the Art Institute of Orange County with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design in 2016. I've been working in the Interior Design field for 8 years and launched my freelance design business in 2018. I started my business because I've always been passionate about assisting designers during the “Design Development” phase. Working with designers from the east to west coast has been a joy, as each designer has a unique style, making the work both enjoyable and diverse. I have 8 years of experience and am proficient in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Microsoft Office, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Canva, social media marketing, Pinterest, photography, videography, website design, and more. I'm known for being able to wear many hats and have designed homes up to 15,000 sq. ft. Most of my career has been focused on residential homes, but I have also worked on model homes, office spaces, and a bit of retail.

I'm excited about the opportunity to assist you on your next project and bring your visions to life! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at: axelsondesigns@gmail.com.
