Alison Victoria's early life and education
Alison Victoria was born on October 31, 1981, in Chicago, Illinois. She is of Greek-American ethnicity and has three kids, Jamie, Nicholas, and Diana. She was inspired to do home renovations by her father. Alison and her father used to go on car rides around the city and the houses they saw on those trips used to fascinate Alison. She then went to the University of Nevada to graduate in design. After graduating she founded her own interior design business, Alison Victoria Interiors. Excelling in her career, Alison became one of the richest female entrepreneurs in the interior design business. Slowly, as she became known as an expert in the field, Alison started appearing in various home designing reality shows. Alison also worked as a model for famed brands like Dior and Gucci. Alison got married to Luke Harding, but they parted ways in April 2022.
Alison Victoria explains how she kickstarted her TV career
Being on TV was never a plan for Alison. She opened up about how she entered the television world in a House Beautiful interview. She said, "Design was always what I wanted to do." She added, "So it was very easy to get into the business." However, she never expected that her career will lead her to become a TV star one day. Alison said that one day a random email came from a production company out of Sacramento, California. It said, "We're looking for a designer in Chicago, it's for an HGTV show, anybody wants to do it?" And, Alison's answer to the mail was "f**k yes."
