Alison Truax | Designer

Alison found herself thrown into the interior design world by way of a happy accident. Her background in fashion and eye for styling apparel effortlessly transformed into a knack for designing and styling interiors. Alison is a California coastal native with a passion for vintage and loves the challenge of blending modern elements with found pieces to create a unique and personal look for clients.

In her downtime Alison loves seeking out live music and a good flea market. Her two kitties often keep her company while gardening or working on her latest DIY project.
