Alison Victoria, the HGTV interior designer known for “Windy City Rehab,” continues to be a heavily searched name online, with fans looking for a Wikipedia-style rundown of her age, career, relationship history and net worth. She does not currently have a standalone English Wikipedia page, so this guide pulls together what is confirmed from HGTV and reliable reporting, and flags where numbers vary across sources.
Who Is Alison Victoria?
Alison Victoria Gramenos, known professionally as Alison Victoria, is an American interior designer and television host born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. She rose to national attention as the first female host of DIY Network’s “Kitchen Crashers,” then became the star of HGTV’s “Windy City Rehab,” which follows her renovating vintage homes in her native Chicago alongside contractor Donovan Eckhardt. She has also appeared on HGTV’s “Rock the Block,” “Battle on the Beach” and “Ty Breaker.”
Age and Birth Date
Multiple bio sites consistently report that Alison Victoria was born on October 31, 1981, in Chicago. That would put her at 44 years old as of 2026.
Career Path
Alison Victoria attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and graduated in interior design. After school, she was hired by designer Christopher Homes, where she gained early recognition in the field. She later founded her own firm, Alison Victoria Interiors, which operates out of Chicago and Las Vegas and has worked with boutiques, resorts and private residences, including creative direction for Las Vegas’s Silverton Casino Hotel.
Her television career began with “Kitchen Crashers” on DIY Network, where she surprised shoppers with free kitchen makeovers. In 2018, HGTV launched “Windy City Rehab,” built around her home-flipping projects in Chicago neighborhoods like Bucktown. The show became a ratings success, drawing more than 20 million viewers by its second season. She has since appeared in HGTV’s competition series “Rock the Block” and “Battle on the Beach,” and hosted “Ty Breaker.”
