A La Jolla native and accomplished entrepreneur, Holly Robinson is the founding principal of a successful interior design firm with over 30 years of executive experience. Her professional background in strategic relationship building and project management is complemented by decades of leadership in the nonprofit sector. Since 1999, she has been a key advocate for a prominent rare disease research foundation, and alongside her husband, she was instrumental in transitioning a grassroots youth organization into a formalized 501(c)(3) entity.

Drawing from the strength of long-term sobriety, Holly provides the ARI Board with the critical perspective of lived experience and offers guidance and sponsorship to others in recovery. Her advocacy is a graceful tribute to her son, whose life was taken in a bicycle accident involving alcohol; she honors his legacy by applying her professional acumen and personal resolve to the pursuit of medical breakthroughs in addiction research.
