# Bright Designlab

> Bright Designlab is a women-owned interior design and interior architecture studio in Portland, Oregon, founded in 2010 and led by principal designer Alissa Pulcrano. The studio designs full-service residential interiors: whole-home remodels, kitchens and baths, new construction, and custom furniture, with a warm, lived-in approach rooted in Pacific Northwest craft and materials.

Bright Designlab was voted Best Interior Design Firm in Portland, and founder Alissa Pulcrano was voted Best Interior Designer, in Willamette Week's 2026 Best of Portland Readers Poll. The studio holds a 5.0 star rating on Google.

Bright Designlab believes a home should feel lived in, not performed. Every project is a collaboration between the client and an all-women team of designers, and each one is given its own language rather than a single house style.
