Meet Your Dream Team

Alisha Gregg

President and CEO
Registered Interior Designer #09871, NCIDQ, IIDA

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.”

Rita Stevens Hoelting

Vice President and Interior Designer

Office fun facts:

“Will use anything as an excuse to chop fresh fruit and bring us a homemade quiche.”

“Guru of ribbons and cellophane.”

“It makes her day to make her clients happy and will do anything to make it happen.”

As an interior designer and owner with Built for Dreams, Rita brings 30 years of interior design experience in commercial project design and project management, space planning and commercial furniture sales. She partnered with Built for Dreams in 2010 bringing 18 years of commercial furniture sales experience and a wealth of personal and professional relationships which allowed Built for Dreams to secure a HAWORTH® furniture dealership. HAWORTH®is one of the top world industry leaders in higher end commercial furniture, moveable walls and systems furniture. This dealership allows Built for Dreams to be positioned to deliver a premier furniture solution to businesses and agencies in this marketplace.

“Having spent so many years in commercial furniture, I knew I could bring my experience to Built for Dreams and get to accomplish something really great. I get to do something different every day at Built for Dreams and have resources that I haven’t had in the past. Our company sells a product, but it also has the capacity to design and build giving our clients a whole perspective to the process. I have the resources of design creativity and talent backing me, and am able to offer so much more to my clients through Built for Dreams. Aligning with these ladies has given me an amazing opportunity to personally and professionally grow. It is such an honor knowing that this company was able to secure a top competing dealership its first year in business. That is an unbelievable accomplishment.

The fundamental commitment to superb client service is key to our business. We always accomplish our client’s goals, and hard work is our standard. My biggest sense of accomplishment is leaving a project knowing our client is fully satisfied. I know that our success is directly attributed to the experience our clients have as a Built for Dreams customer, and my goal is to have lifetime customers.”
