Alison Hudgins
Alison Hudgins a Gainesville native, graduated from the University of Georgia with a bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Interior Design from the Lamar Dodd School of Art.
Alison previously worked with an Atlanta Design firm designing large commerical firms and residential homes as well.
Alison also started her own design firm Alison Hudgins Interiors.
Some designers have a so-called look if you see their work you know who the designer is. I don't think you could categoize me that way.
When asked how she approaches a design project--by the personality of the client or the personality of the space- Alison does not hesitate. The client always, I never forget whose home it is, whose money is being spent and who has to live with it long after the job has been completed.
