THE DESIGN STORY
Amanda graduated in Legal Studies from the University of Central Florida but after 13 years of being a Litigation Paralegal, she returned to college and received a degree in Interior Design from the International Academy of Design and Technology. Although considered late in life to switch careers, her moves were bold, life changing and her design journey began.
Amanda first acquired practical, hands-on design experience with Herman Miller, a recognized innovator in contemporary interior furnishings and solutions for commercial spaces, and with Robb & Stucky, Florida’s largest residential interior design studio. From working minimum wage to commission, gaining design expertise one project at a time, Amanda embarked on one of the greatest design experiences of her life as an Interior Designer for IKEA, the globally known Swedish multi-national conglomerate that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture and home accessories, kitchens, and other goods. She acquired a wealth of knowledge of how we live at home, handyperson skills, and figured out a way how to do design on her own. Amanda left IKEA and created Interior Motive Design. Since then, a number of notable design projects in the community followed:
Sunset Yoga (2017) An outdoor social yoga event in the Milk District of Orlando, Amanda staged multiple vignettes of outdoor patio seating.
The Social (2018) After decades of its existence, formally known as Sapphire Club in the 90’s, Amanda redesigned this bar and concert venue located on Orange Avenue in the heart of downtown Orlando.
Immerse (2019) An art, dance and music event that took over Downtown Orlando’s city center for 3 days with over 45,000 attendees. Amanda teamed up with West Elm to design and stage the outdoor VIP lounge area next to the main performance stage on Orange Avenue.
Amanda has also extended her skills to Set Design for TV production and Social Media, in addition to AirBnB Design and and New Construction Design. The momentum in her journey as an Interior Designer, REALTOR, and Home Stager keeps accelerating one project at a time.
In CareerTipper’s podcast (2018), Amanda was able to share her life design story in her journey of switching careers, starting all over and giving up everything she had to become an Interior Designer. Tune in at the link below! 🎧

Understanding how a space is designed will make the transition from old to new an easy and exciting one!
Let’s set up a one-hour consultation at your property so you can tell me your design needs and I can share ideas. I’ll also take photographs and measurements to get prepared for your design.
For the first phase of design, I will create a furniture floorplan layout. This layout is to ensure your needs and activities in the space are looked after, the correct sizes of furniture are measured out, and there is proper flow within the space and adjacent spaces. This furniture plan will also serve as an inventory list of furnishings.
Once you approve the furniture plan, a design is conceptualized and a list of furnishing options are provided, in addition to, material selections such as paint, tile and flooring. A vision board is also created so that you can have a visual of how the selected furnishings will look together.
Once the furnishings are purchased, the finishing touches such as artwork, decoration and accessories are then selected. Painting a room? Hanging up curtains or lighting? Handypersons, painters, and carpenters can be coordinated as needed.
