Allison Lind Interiors is an interior design firm built on the belief that a home should be an autobiography. We don’t just fill rooms; we create connections. Whether we’re working in Seattle, NYC or anywhere in between, our process begins with you, your needs, your heritage and your “someday” dreams. We don’t just design beautiful spaces; we bridge the gap between architectural structure and soul, curating the background for life’s moments.
ALLISON LIND
CEO & DESIGN DIRECTOR
A career in journalism, paired with an innate love of design, first led me into styling interiors for high-end shelter magazines, shaping spaces for glossy editorial pages and, eventually, a few celebrity clients. Over time, my eye for detail and instinct for creating layered, personal interiors sparked demand well beyond the magazine world, which ultimately led me to start my own design firm.
I’m also a devoted advocate for animal rescue, so outside of design, and often right in the middle of it, you’ll usually find me loving on my two rescue mutts, Arrow and Levon, or managing the ever-changing energy of whichever foster dog currently happens to be in our home.
At home, I’m equally outnumbered by my two small children, who occasionally make very confident guest appearances on client Zoom calls.
Travel remains one of the ways I recharge and stay creatively curious. So far I’ve explored 32 countries, and I’m most drawn to places and experiences that push me beyond my comfort zone, immersing me in new textures, rhythms, perspectives, and ways of living.

ARIELLE HOOPES
Director of Client Experience & Strategic Growth
The Complex Coordinator While I’m not the one selecting the finishes, I thrive on high-stakes complexity, bespoke kitchens, primary suites, and large-scale renovations where timelines and design intentions intersect. My role is to protect the creative vision through rigorous coordination, ensuring our clients experience their home’s full potential.
The Operational Bridge With a background in operations and project management, I naturally view every design decision through the lens of build-ability and budget. I bridge the gap between Allison’s creative vision and technical execution, ensuring the communication flow is as seamless as the final result.
Creativity in the Chaos My creativity at ALI shows up most in high-level problem solving. A skill sharpened by my daily ritual of playing with my kids. Immersing myself in their world of imagination forces me to remain adaptable and find solutions on the fly; being a mom is truly the best training ground for viewing a problem.
The Invisible Luxury I will always stand behind the invisible details that dictate how intuitive a space feels. From the intentionality of a door swing to the way light hits a specific corner to invite a cat’s permanent nap zone, these "quiet" choices are what ultimately create a sense of calm and cozy within a home.
SARAH LEE
Director of Operations & Culture
The Internal Architect While I don’t design client homes, I find my inspiration in designing our internal systems and office workflows. I believe good design starts with efficient operations; when everything behind the scenes is clear and organized, our design team has the freedom to focus entirely on our clients.
The Psychology of Space With a background in psychology, I am driven by the philosophy of "clear space, clear mind." I approach every system and workspace with an eye for how structure and flow can reduce stress and support creativity.
The Daily Reset My essential daily ritual is a quick reset of my workspace, clearing surfaces to ensure everything has a home. This intentional act sets the tone for my day: when the physical environment feels organized, my brain follows, allowing for a focused and productive creative flow.
The Functional Foundation I will always stand behind the power of thoughtful organization. I am a firm believer that a space must be as practical as it is beautiful; if a system is easy to understand and maintain, it is a successful design choice that enhances the way we live and work.
NISHTHA VASHIST
Senior Designer
The Foodie’s Kitchen As a dedicated foodie, I love designing kitchens that work as hard as they look. I’m energized by the high-functioning details, from intentional cabinet planning to bespoke stone edge profiles.
The Functional Strategist My background in retail and exhibition design taught me that form must always follow function. Having worked with modular homes, I focus on utilizing every square foot with intention, ensuring materials and layouts are used strategically to bridge the gap between efficiency and aesthetics.
The Daily Observance Daily Long walks are my creative reset. They allow me to notice things like how typography interacts with architecture or nature’s palettes create warmth. I believe the most authentic color combinations come from the outdoors. They make a space feel calmer and more like home.
The Enduring Standard I will always stand behind the belief that form without function is merely decoration. I design around how people actually move and interact within a space, ensuring the final result is not just beautiful, but meaningful and built to last.
DASHA SLOBODA
Designer
The Heart of the Home The kitchen is my favorite space to design because it’s where daily life truly happens. I love striking the precise balance between high-end beauty and effortless function to make the most hardworking room in the house the most inspiring.
A Global Perspective My design language is shaped by my travels and experiencing how different cultures celebrate materials and light. This global exposure has taught me that thoughtful, nuanced details are what make a space feel curated rather than just decorated.
The Daily Edit My creative process starts with the ritual of curating my daily outfit. Those small, intentional decisions regarding color and silhouette sharpen my eye for the larger design choices that define the soul of a room.
The Power of Texture I will always stand behind the magic of layering textures. It is the essential move that adds depth, warmth, and character, transforming a space from "nice" into something truly elevated and memorable.
MADDIE BATES
Marketing Manager
The Story Behind the Story
I approach marketing as an extension of the design process, capturing the moments, decisions, and details that shape each project. My focus is on translating the work into something people can feel and connect with, not just see.
The Strategic Lens
With a background in digital marketing, content creation, and brand development, I think about how each piece of content contributes to a larger story. From on-site capture to long-term positioning, I focus on building a presence that reflects the same level of intention as the spaces themselves.
The On-Site Perspective
Being on-site is where everything comes together. It allows me to document the process as it unfolds and the magic unfolds. The collaboration, the problem-solving, and the small moments that ultimately define the finished space.
The Enduring Standard
I believe strong design deserves thoughtful storytelling. My goal is to ensure that what we share feels aligned, cohesive, and true to the experience of working with the ALI team.
POLINA TKACHOVA
Assistant Designer
The Narrator I love residential design because it allows me to translate a person’s entire life story into a physical space. By weaving together personal history and style, every room becomes layered, meaningful, and truly one-of-a-kind.
The Cultural Curator My travels deeply influence my perspective on depth and detail. I believe in reflecting a client’s cultural personality within an interior—it brings a unique soul and a global story to the home that can’t be replicated.
The Clarity Seeker An active lifestyle is my essential reset. Keeping my body moving keeps my mind clear and focused, and I find that in that space of clarity, my creative energy feels truly endless.
The Balancing Act I will always stand by the art of mixing bold textures and patterns, but I believe balance must come first. It is that careful equilibrium that makes a space feel intentional, sophisticated, and ultimately timeless.
