After studying architecture & interior design at The University of Texas in Austin, Amy had inspiring opportunities in high-end residential & commercial design firms in Fort Worth, Austin, & Dallas, as well as the historic Texas Capitol Restoration- truly the project of a lifetime. These projectss provided extensive practice developing space plans, designing the intricate details of spaces & furnishings, and managing contractors spanning construction to upholstery. From custom stone & wood flooring designs & the reproduction of historical furnishings, to tech-integrated workstations in law libraries & millwork in laundry rooms- she has experienced a wide variety of scopes & projects.
After passing the NCIDQ exam in 1995, Amy achieved Registered Interior Designer (RID) status. RID licensure from the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners requires graduation from an NCIDQ accredited university, a multi-year apprenticeship under licensed interior designers or architects, and successful passage of the NCIDQ professional practicum & exam. Once licensed, annual education requirements are focused on Health/Safety/Welfare- including accessibility standards and sustainability. Whether she is designing for residential or commercial spaces, our aging and varied population necessitates design for accessibility and universal use.
Interior Design, at its core, is about improving environments for the wellbeing of all occupants.
