In the Design Industry Since: 2021
Accreditations/Experience: I have an associate degree in Interior Design as well as experience in closet design.
Inspiration to Pursue a Design Career: I can’t remember not being interested in design. I found myself always helping my friends and family make design decisions and felt that a career in interior design would be a good fit for me.
Favorite Design Tip: Find one element (fabric, art, furniture, etc.) that you love and start there.
Best Advice to Clients: Don’t forget about function. It won’t matter how beautiful it is if you cannot function properly in the space.
My Personal Design Aesthetic Is: Always evolving
3 Words that Describe Me: Enthusiastic, Resilient, and Focused
Amy is an outstanding designer who was a tremendous help when I was looking for new living room furniture. My options were limited because I have a smaller space. I had unsuccessfully searched online and in many retail stores before I called Walter E. Smithe for an appointment. Prior to meeting, she learned my style preferences, reviewed pics of my current furnishings and floor plan, and got to work. When I arrived, she showed me many suitable furnishings and beautiful fabrics. I came back two more times before I made my final decision and each time she wasn’t too pushy while also guiding me towards a decision. I know I wasn’t her biggest customer, but she made me feel like I was with her patience, responsiveness, professionalism and friendliness. Thank you, Amy! -Laura T.
