Background

Alison Victoria Gramenos, known as Alison Victoria, is an American T.V. actress, host, and professional interior designer. Born on Halloween in 1981 in Chicago, Victoria felt a love of buildings from a young age. She was inspired to do home renovations by her father, who would frequently take her and the family on car rides around the city.

After graduating from the University of Nevada in 2001, she began her career in design, working for Christopher Homes, where she was one of the youngest and most talented designers. Two years later, she founded her own interior design business called Alison Victoria Interiors and has become one of the richest female entrepreneurs. In addition to running her own business, Victoria has appeared as a host on various T.V. shows.
