Interior designer Alison Pickart deftly combines the innovation, ingenuity and optimism characteristic of her adopted city of San Francisco with the reverence for function, integrity and practicality instilled in her by her Midwestern upbringing. With her intoxicating zest for life, meticulous attention to detail and unparalleled understanding of proportion, history, construction and material, her thoughtful environments are luxurious and gracious, spirited and soothing, elegant and down-to-earth. Her warm, welcoming energy suffuses her richly-textured rooms, cocooning her clients in an understated opulence that provides refuge and retreat from the demands and transitions of modern life. Her clients, who comprise a Who’s Who of technology, business and media leaders, inevitably turn to her again and again, confident in her inveterate ability to meet their exacting standards on every level, from innovative and unique materials to impeccable craftsmanship. A consummate professional, she is unrelenting in her commitment to excellence in all facets of a project, as attentive to its high level production values — including exacting timetables, scrupulous budgets, flawless scheduling and breathtaking staging — as she is in creating and procuring the latest in the world of design. Observant, perceptive and compassionate, she’s committed to extending her services beyond providing the merely beautiful. She juggled one project’s complex logistics, not only accelerating its timeline but bedecking it in full holiday splendor, guaranteeing the client a memorable celebration at home with her children; for another client, she shouldered the responsibility of not only transforming a bloated spec mansion into a sleek, sophisticated estate, but selected and commanded the entire crew of builders, craftsmen, staff, architects, technicians, workers and engineers that were needed; for another client, she directed the purchase and furnishing of their temporary European abode, enabling them to slip seamlessly into their busy schedule of work and meetings upon arrival. Her compassionate leadership qualities ensure that her teams support her high standards, upholding her ability to deliver work that is consistently above expectation.
