Arizona Foothills Magazine: What is the name of your company?

 Vallone Design, Inc.

 Arizona Foothills Magazine: When and where was your company founded?

 VD: It was established in 2001 in Scottsdale, AZ.

 Arizona Foothills Magazine: Where is your office located?

 VD: Old Town Scottsdale

7007 E. 3rd Avenue

Scottsdale, AZ 85251.

 Arizona Foothills Magazine: Why did you choose to become a designer?

VD: All of our designers have a different story of their path to interior design. Personally, I feel that it has always been in my blood. My mother, Donna Vallone, has been a designer for over 30 years. I grew up surrounded by creativity, beautiful objects and fabulous style. I found that I love helping people create a beautiful and personal space that makes them happy.

 Arizona Foothills Magazine: What other designers have inspired your vision to create beautiful work?

VD: There are so many historical designers, as well as current designers that I find inspiring. However, I must give tribute to my mother, who helped shape my sense of style, color, and design from the beginning. She continues to be a great source of inspiration, as well as my fellow designers.

 Arizona Foothills Magazine: What sets you apart from other designers?

VD: I think the most important thing we do at Vallone Design is create an individual look for our client that reflects their unique personality and lifestyle.

 Arizona Foothills Magazine: What is the craziest idea that someone has asked you to design?

VD: I can not think of one thing specifically (that I can talk about). We have had many odd requests over the years. We have come to embrace, and rather enjoy the challenges that are given to us.

 Arizona Foothills Magazine: Is there one specific design you have done that is your favorite or you have had the most fun with?

VD: I honestly don’t have favorite projects. Each project has its own challenges and parts that are really fun. I did have a great time designing my own home because it had been living in my head for so many years!

 Arizona Foothills Magazine: What are the main reasons you are choosing to participate in such a wonderful and motivating cause?

VD: We are honored to have been chosen to design for the Phoenix Dream Center. Our entire team is going to participate and is excited about the challenge and the opportunity. We all have different reasons why this is important to us. After hearing about the women in this program, my heart ached for them. As a mom, I want them to be safe, healthy and happy. My hope is that we can help them with their journey by giving them a beautiful, warm, safe place to begin their new lives.

 Arizona Foothills Magazine: What experience do you hope to take away from helping the beautiful and inspiring women from the Phoenix Dream Center?

VD: By giving them a safe and loving space, we hope to make an impact on the lives of these young women.
