Artala was founded by Amy May — an interior designer with over two decades of experience designing and managing projects across Seattle and the Eastside. The work is rigorous. The process is guided. And yes, along the way, it tends to feel a lot better than you expected. I approach every project holistically, considering your lifestyle, your goals, and the full potential of your space — even when others might say it isn’t possible.

Designing your ideal space is a collaborative process. We talk, we laugh, and we plan together. Your needs, your style, and your story shape every decision.

When you work with Artala, you work directly with me. I handle everything from space planning and finish selections to construction coordination — and I’m present at every stage, from first conversation to final reveal.

My planning process includes defining the project scope, aligning timelines and budgets, coordinating with trusted teams, and ensuring every decision supports the overall vision.

I thrive on challenges — because that’s where the most creative problem-solving happens — and I’m always in your corner.

“Amy and Sanja were wonderful! They guided us through an extensive remodel of our home of 17 years. With their talent and experience, we ended up with our dream house. They did all the design for adding dormers to our bedrooms and a full redesign of our kitchen and all bathrooms. We appreciated how they listened to us and helped us keep within our budget. We have recommended them to friends and family and would definitely use them again.”
