Amanda, a Texas native and University of Texas alum (hook em!) earned a degree in Advertising with a minor in Business. Her love of architecture and design took her to the west coast where she earned a CIDA accredited certificate in Interior Design at UCLA and worked in multiple firms where she first learned the ins and outs of the business. Her family ties and love of Zilker (AKA doggie heaven) brought her back home where she put down roots in Allandale. To Amanda, interior design has always been about the immersive experience and how the built environment affects our daily lives. She believes that people ignore design that ignores people. Her LEED accreditation gives her the ability to make sustainable design decisions. When she is not designing, you can usually find her swimming with her fur babies at the greenbelt or sipping a cocktail with friends.
