Meet Your Dream Team

Alisha Gregg

President and CEO

Office fun facts:

“Technology junkie. Currently looking for a pet drone to convert into a Personal Assistant.”

“Super hero is Herimone Granger – she stays cool in tough situations and is able to fix life with a single wave of her magic wand. “Live-e-osa!”

“Gypsy spirit, can travel across the world, prop her feet in the sand and call it an office.”

As one of the founding owners of Built for Dreams, Alisha has developed her career in interior design and construction for more than 20 years. She owned and operated a design studio for 12 years before founding Built for Dreams, and worked in architectural and engineering firms prior to that.

“My love for the built environment stems from growing up in a construction focused family. My passion, however, is interiors. We live inside spaces, work inside spaces, play inside spaces; even outdoor spaces have indoor components (restaurant patios, coffee and cantinas, hotel courtyards and café’s, health and wellness areas for hospitals to spas, resort and bungalow living to name a few).

Quality interior design maximizes our usefulness of spaces through space planning, interior architectural detailing and textural design, enhanced by décor elements. Together, all of this enhances comfort, supports wellness and well-being and appeases our send of personal style. Construction, when delivered as part of the creative process, through the use of talented craftspeople, makes the final architectural product highly satisfying to the client. It made perfect sense for me to meld design and construction into a design/build service to ensure our clients get exactly what we design to the level of quality our clients expect.

I approach interiors with these base beliefs to give each client an individualized and personalized project. I adopt the work ethic that this can be accomplished in some way for any budget.

And finally, interior designers are a venue for creativity and Built for Dreams bubbles over with it.”

Guilty Pleasures: Chocolate anything, a vacation anywhere and lifelong friends to share them with.

Favorite Places: While anywhere with a sandy beach will satisfy as a favorite place, I still have so many places to go, I don’t know what may emerge as my favorite!

Office fun facts:

“Process Strategy Specialist aka Wizard of Chaos Management in high heels.”

“Trying to convince the world that Oreos and O.J. are a match in heaven.”

“Always in her zone, the quietest little box of delight.”

“I enjoy interior design because it is an ever-changing art that is distinctive, purposeful, and full of rhythm. As designer, I have an opportunity to transform the everyday mundane into a space of distinction. To see an idea start from a sketch and then become a physical reality is truly an incredible process to be a part of.

Built for Dreams is an amazing design firm where we are given opportunities to work on a wide range of projects. We design through collaboration; so our clients have the benefit of a team with diverse backgrounds and knowledge. Our goal is to understand the needs of an individual while creating a space that is purposeful and artistically pleasing. I am honored to work with a team that is passionate about design and improving the wellbeing of others.”
