设计师艾力森(Allison Smith)

Allison Smith的设计灵感源于她的祖母，在很早的时候就对设计感兴趣。她开始是在家里按照各种样式摆放家具，这些每每使她的母亲惊讶不已。后来她在纽约学习艺术和纺织品，毕业后在南加州工作。

她定居西北太平洋后生了两个小孩，并且在商业和居民小区客户的设计生意上取得了成功。现在她的女儿Ramona和她一块做居民区的设计，口号就是“Allison Smith设计--有什么就用什么装饰你的房间”

Allison获得过很多奖，包括“最佳展示奖”；连续两年都获得过俄勒冈州最有声望的原生态奢华新家之旅--梦之街活动的好评。

她的业务已经向国外发展，包括为中国北京的原乡美利坚做室内设计。通过这次旅行，她进一步扩展了海外关系，和世界各地建立了广泛联系。她为能争取美国之外的项目兴奋不已。她现在和她丈夫居住在美丽的波兰，养着一条狗和两只猫。

当Ramona还是10岁的时候就开始帮她妈妈做一些设计，那时候就显示了她在室内设计的天赋。在母亲手下经过几年磨练以后，Ramona就开始了自己的职业生涯，她在波兰的设计中心找了一份工作。经过五年的努力，她成功的成为了波兰的第一设计师，并且在这段时间里她学到了很多的工业知识。之后她拓展了自己的设计领域，为家具零售商做地板设计。她在大学里学习建筑和设计把自己的设计经验融入于自然的视角。

从2003年开始，她开始在Allison Smith工作室做全职设计师。Ramona和Allison共同成功推出了一个理念，那就是有什么就用什么装饰。无数对她们设计的推荐充分体现了客户对她们的信心和满意程度。

The Oregonian，是西北太平洋最大的报纸，这张报纸花了四页来报道Allison Smith的设计，题为“Personal Magic: Use-what-you-have decorators find a unique style for each client's stuff”，大意是“不可思议：设计师能用手头仅有的东西为客户装饰出世界上独一无二的风格”。

这家报纸同时也采访了Allison选择颜色的过程，并且发不了一篇名为“Three Pros Decode Color”的报道。颜色是Allison Smith设计中很重要的一部分，以至于她最近才安装好了她自己定做的颜色生产线。你可以从波兰最大的Benjamin Moore商Kaleidoscope Paint买到Allison Smith调色板

她们为了跟上潮流，还经常去北加州高水平的家具市场。在这里她们拉近与制造商和销售商的关系，目的是能使她们的客户可以用实惠的价格买到高质量的家具及配套产品。

Allison Smith, inspired by her grandmother, fell in love with design at a young age. She started by scooting around the furniture at home, repeatedly surprising her mother with new arrangements. Later, she studied art and textiles in New York City and launched her career in Southern California.

Settling in the Pacific Northwest, she raised her two children while building a successful interior design business with commercial and residential clients. Now, her daughter Ramona works with her in her residential design business, Allison Smith's Decorate With What You Own?Interiors.

Allison has won a variety of awards, including"Best in Show"; two years in a row at Oregon's prestigious Street of Dreams?, the original luxury new home tour.

Her projects have crossed international borders, including designing a resort community in Beijing, China. Through this travel, she has made extensive international contacts, and has built professional relationships around the world. She is excited to pursue additional projects outside of the United States. She currently lives with her husband, a dog and two cats in a lovely Victorian in Portland, Oregon.

Ramona Ramos' early exposure to interior design started when she began helping her mom, Allison at just 10 years old. After years of doing work for Allison, Ramona started her own career by taking a position with a Portland design center. Throughout her five years there, she worked with the top designers in Portland, and started to hone her knowledge of the industry. Later, she broadened her skills when she began creating floor displays for a large furniture retailer.She added to her practical experience and natural eye by studying architecture and design in college.

In 2003 she began working full time as a designer for Allison Smith Design. Together, Ramona and Allison created the successful concept, Decorate With What You Own? Interiors. The high level of referrals created by her work illustrate the confidence and satisfaction her clients have in her.

The Oregonian, the Pacific Northwest's largest newspaper, published a four-page spread covering Allison Smith Design, called "Personal Magic: Use-what-you-have decorators find a unique style for each client's stuff."

The Oregonian also consulted Allison for an article on the process of selecting color, called "Three Pros Decode Color". Color is such an important component to Allison Smith's design process she recently launched her own custom line of colors. Allison Smith Color Season Paint Pallette is available exclusively through Kaleidoscope Paint, Portland's Largest Benjamin Moore dealer.
