Despite working on multi-million dollar projects and hosting her own design television show, Toronto-based Ali Budd of Ali Budd Interiors didn't set out to be a superstar. According to her, she isn't even goal-oriented.

In response to her father's advice not to make a decision based on fear, Ali enrolled in an interior design school. Having worked under some of Canada's top designers, Ali decided to start her own business in 2010. Divorced with two small children, Ali found herself even more motivated to succeed, fueling her current success. She now manages a team of ten women and is one of the most sought-after designers in North America. The key to Ali's success is not following a prescribed path and being open to opportunities that come her way, including her new TV show, House of Ali, streaming on Hulu. With this "authentic reality" show, Ali hopes to celebrate and uplift women in the interior design world.
