Allison Jaffe is an award-winning interior designer, adventurer and philanthropist based in Austin, Texas. With a BS in Interior Design from Texas State University and a degree in neuropsychology from the University of Pittsburgh, she brings a rare, science-informed understanding of how people actually live in their homes.
For more than 15 years, her firm has practiced what clients call deep listening — identifying explicit needs and subtle preferences alike, then translating them into contractor-ready designs.

Founder & Principal Designer
A selection of remodels, new builds and furnishing projects across Austin, Round Rock, Westlake and the Hill Country.
A dramatic family home anchored by black millwork, limestone and light-filled gathering rooms.
Custom wallpaper murals, scalloped headboards and layered texture give this home quiet personality.
An organic-modern Austin home where every room flows into the next with calm, collected ease.

Whether it's a whole-home remodel, a ground-up build or a furnishings refresh, every AJID project is designed around the way you actually live.
We identify your explicit needs and subtle preferences, so the finished home is congruent with your lifestyle.
CAD floor plans, detailed elevations and 3D renderings give contractors complete, buildable information.

Trusted Contractors & Makers
Full-service interior design including space planning, kitchens and bathrooms, custom cabinetry, furniture, lighting design and sustainable design — plus select corporate and hospitality projects, supported by a network of specialized contractors.
Projects move through three major phases — Conceptual Design, Detailed Design, and Purchasing & Execution — managed from concept through completion with attention to every detail.
Conceptual Design and Detailed Design each take roughly eight weeks. Remodels typically run 4–8 months including permitting, and larger furniture pieces can carry 12–24 week lead times.
Usually not — unless you're adding square footage, changing rooflines or moving exterior walls. As a Texas Registered Interior Designer, Allison can stamp plans for permitting.
Yes. We match trusted collaborators to your timeline and personality, and we're equally happy to work alongside a contractor you already know.
A hybrid model: an initial flat-rate phase covers the design work, then purchasing and coordination move to a retainer. We'll walk you through the numbers in your complimentary consultation.
From Best of Houzz to a Design Excellence Award, a look at the recognition behind the work.
Austin Monthly, Tribeza, Southern Living, Modern Luxury and more have featured the firm's work.
Why our process begins with neuroscience-informed listening, not a look-book.
It starts with a complimentary phone chat. Tell us about your home, your timeline and how you want to live — we'll take it from there.
