We hired Amy to design an addition to our home — including a new primary suite, an additional guest bedroom, expanded kitchen and new sunroom — and the result exceeded everything we could visualize on paper. She took a space that felt sectioned off with low ceilings and transformed it into something open and more voluminous, without losing any of the home's warmth or character. The use of step-downs and varied ceiling heights changed the entire feeling of the house, architectural decisions that we truly understood and appreciated once we were in the space.

Beyond the design itself, she was responsive, met every timeline, and stayed within budget. She also pushed us — and the builder — to make the right long-term decisions. When the contractor recommended building part of the addition on piers, she advocated for a proper foundation instead, which meant better insulation and a more stable structure that won't shift and misalign windows and doors over time. That kind of thinking made a real difference.

She brought an environmental awareness to material choices, was a genuine pleasure to work with, and has a great sense of humor to boot. She is a true professional who was instrumental to the entire process. We’ve already recommended her to others and would hire her again without hesitation.
