About

Allison Sutherland

Founder + Creator + Artist

As an intuitive designer, I strive to create a happier, healthier and more balanced life for you through design.  Taking your sensibilities into consideration, I will create a space that you can identify with and are proud of while at the same time fulfilling your functional needs and expectations. When your home represents your best self you become a more authentic and confident participant in life.  As a designer I align and redefine your space that is tailored to your desires and needs. 


I love design.  My parents were both designers and nurtured and supported my inherent (and inherited) talent.  I was blessed with the opportunities to walk open houses on Sundays and antique shopping as a family outing. My formal training further enhanced the development of my aesthetic and honed the business skills I use today.

My personal style is influenced as a California coastal native, I bring those influences into my design aesthetic.  My beachy casual sensibility comes from my days in Manhattan Beach and my more refined appreciation for quality and richness comes from my residency in Piedmont and Ross.  When designing I enjoy playing with scale, creating textural tactile experiences, organic elements paired with clean lines, adding a pop of personality and using found objects and vintage pieces.

Having wanderlust helps me to explore new design influences, source new materials, furniture and lighting elements. My interests run deep with the outdoors whether hiking with my King Charles Cavalier-Maverick, boating on our Chris Craft in Tahoe, yoga and biking for activity, sketching feathers, or hosting a dinner party in my yard.  I know how important it is to have your lifestyle match your surroundings. 

Let's take what you love and build that into your space.  Your personality should be reflected in your home, airstream, vacation rental, retail space, in everything you do.  I help you dig deep to find out what really matters and make it aesthetically shine.
