Hello,
Allyson Fisher is a graduate from Converse University with a BFA in Interior Design. Her passion for interior design stems from when she was in middle school and discovered the program called Planner 5D, which is an advanced and easy-to-use 2D/3D design tool. Allyson loved using this program to create individual spaces and sometimes even entire floor plans. From this, her interest in interior design grew into a dream of becoming a residential interior designer, who would design beautiful homes. Throughout her four years at college, Allyson discovered other branches of design as well and realized that her interest didn't only include residential design, but some of commercial design as well.
​
Since graduating in 2022, she has been refining her portfolio and has begun a freelace interior design business to market herself. In February of 2024, she landed a job with June DeLugas Interiors, located in the Winston-Salem area, as an Interior Designer. She is so excited and can't wait to start this next chapter in life!
