- Our experience working with Amity was incredibly fantastic -- beyond anything we had expected from a designer (and her talents clearly go way beyond design). We looked at over sixty houses when we moved to Austin, a process which we found discouraging. Now, thanks to Amity, we have a house that is incredibly personalized, beautiful, and better than anything we ever expected to own. Best, it is not overly flashy or over-designed, which you see all too often with remodels. Not only are her design ideas original, but working with her is a sheer pleasure. She's not a snob, she's a great listener, she's incredibly organized and attentive to detail, she never questions your budget and helps you stick to it, and she makes sure everything gets done on time and done right. To boot, she has a great sense of humor and is fun to be around. Amazing! We are the only people we know, I think, who have had such a positive remodeling experience, thanks entirely to her!

- What I wasn't expecting [in working with Amity] was the great education I received. I think anyone can tell you to buy certain expensive things and your home will work...having someone able to put together quality pieces with affordable pieces and already existing pieces to create a tasteful, put together, livable space is a special talent....As an added bonus, Amity is personable, fun and has a great sense of humor, which is definitely important when having someone come into your home and check out your personal spaces! The whole experience was fun and the end result is fabulous...I can't recommend her enough!

- I worked with Amity at two high-end residential interior design firms in New York from 1998 through 2006. The thing I liked best about working with Amity is her sense of humor, which is so important when you are working in a competitive and high stress environment. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer who can do the job in an efficient, unaffected way and achieve a stellar outcome!

- Amity is a true joy to work with. She definitely knows how to "keep it real" whether it's telling you how to arrange bookshelves, pick a paint color or edit a document. She appreciated the quirky pieces that my family had collected, and helped my home look its best. She also helped me stick to my budget by encouraging me to spend money in places that would matter the most. And she did so with grace and good humor, and made it fun to have her help.
