Alison Gillespie
Principal Designer & Owner
With deep roots in both aviation and design, I grew up surrounded by aircraft and floor plan sketches, often sketching my own before I could spell "interior design." That early passion led me to study Applied Design for Interior Design and launch my career in 2009.
Since then, I’ve partnered closely with builders and trades, gaining hands-on experience that bridges the gap between vision and execution. As a mother of five, I’ve also mastered the art of multitasking, clear communication, and creative problem-solving under pressure.
Blending technical know-how with a lifelong love of aviation, I specialize in creating thoughtful, personalized spaces, on the ground or in the sky. I especially love working with pilots and their families to design homes, cabins, and aircraft interiors that reflect who they are and how they live.

Review
"I worked with Pine Blue Design on the renovation of our home. They understand the needs of families and are polite, friendly professionals to work with. They project managed the entire house renovation and I heard comments from the Electrician and Plumber that their plans we're the nicest, most detailed they had ever seen."

Review
"My husband and I were building our first new home. We had an opportunity toimprove the supplied floorplans. We sent Alison at Pine Blue Design some sketches of some rough ideas we thought of. She reviewed our sketches, talked with us to understand what we were trying to achieve, and went to work. She added some creative ideas and turned over some beautiful accurate working drawings to the builder.He said the design and quality of the work, was the best he’s had to work with.The build went off without a hitch without one discrepancy! Alison’s input and knowledge made the whole build experience a breeze. Since we moved in and spoken with others who built at the same time, we learned our positive buildexperience is a rare thing, that resulted in a unique home that looks much better then the surrounding builds. We are very proud and happy to live in this special home she designed. We owe that to Alison’s creative input and attention to detail. Thank you so much."
