Seattle Interior Design & Construction Planning, Done Differently

The Short Story?

I have degrees in accounting and computer technology. I’ve spent over twenty years on job sites across Seattle, the Eastside, and beyond — managing projects from first sketch through final walk-through, in every market condition, with every kind of team.

And I still rearrange the furniture in every hotel room I stay in. Not for fun (okay, maybe a little for fun) — but because energy, flow, and mood matter. Lighting gets adjusted. Chairs get repositioned. I can’t help myself — I’m wired to create spaces that feel better.

The Long Story?

I’ve spent over two decades designing and building spaces that tell stories — soulful, intentional stories about the people who live in them. I don’t see space as a series of boxes waiting to be filled. I see space as movement — as energy in motion — a quiet conversation between form and function, light and life. I imagine how you’ll move through your morning, where the light will hit your kitchen counter, where you’ll pause with a cup of coffee, or gather with friends.

My background bridges creativity and logic — and I mean that more literally than most designers do.

I have degrees in accounting and computer technology. Before I ever picked up a design brief, I was trained to read complex systems, find patterns, and solve problems within real constraints.

What I discovered is that analytical thinking and creative vision aren’t opposites. They’re the same skill expressed differently. Reading a floor plan and reading a person require the same underlying capacity — the ability to look at something and understand what it’s actually telling you.

I do both. And I don’t just look at floor plans — I step inside them.

My creative intuition and practical strategy are present in every project. I love beautiful spaces — but I care just as much about how they work.

What Amy Believes

I believe in color, texture, and pattern — unapologetically. (Blue is my black.) I believe lighting is everything. And I believe great design should never take itself too seriously.

That’s probably why I have a thing for bold shoes — The Office of Angela Scott  and Charlotte Stone  shoes are basically my spirit animals.

At Home

Shoes might be my spirit animals — bold, expressive, and always up for making a statement — but the real soul of my life is at home.

I share my days with Sabine, our loyal and lovable German Shepherd who’s never far from my side, Torti, our fiercely independent cat who cuddles strictly on her own terms, and Gnocchi, our resident lovebug who believes every lap was made just for her.

And then there’s James — my partner in all things laughter, mischief, and joy. We don’t take ourselves too seriously around here. A day doesn’t go by without tears from laughing so hard, inside jokes on repeat, or some ridiculous dance move happening in the kitchen. Our home is a mix of beauty, personality, and a whole lot of fun — just the way I think life (and design) should be.

What Drives Me?

Design is energy work. It’s about crafting spaces that support you, inspire you, and hold you. Spaces should work hard and feel good. They should tell your story — not mine.

But if you invite me into your project, fair warning: I’m going to care a lot. About the details. About the light. About the flow. About how it all comes together to feel like you.

There’s actually a name for this approach — neuroarchitecture, the study of how spaces affect the nervous system, not just the eye. I’ve been practicing it for twenty years. I just found the word recently.

If you’re ready for a space that feels like you —
