I established Amei Interiors in Orlando, Florida in September of 2015. I am now working on establishing Amei Interiors in Windermere, Florida soon!

I received my Bachelor of Interior Design from Seminole State College in 2017. I am also a former proud member of The American Society of Interior Design (ASID) for both the North and South Chapters for ASID.
I am a Certified Notary Public in the State of Florida, and Minority/Women Business Enterprise with Orange County. I am also the owner of Shop Amei, an online boutique for women's apparel, shoes, accessories, and home goods.​
FAVORITE EXPERIENCES
I've had the pleasure of working as an interior design intern at Universal Studios for theme park design. That was an experience in itself. Splendid! My main attraction was Harry Potter. But I also helped on Minions and Transformers. I've also worked alongside other designers in Orlando and Winter Park, as an intern at Workscapes, which is a custom furniture manufacturer, Hudson's Furniture as a designer handling furniture designed for residential homes, Floor & Decor as a designer working with all things flooring, C&S Themed Events and Environments as a CAD Designer for custom themed bedrooms in vacation homes and air bnb residences, and many more places as a designer. These were stepping stones in my life's journey. I appreciate them all.

Q: What's my favorite design style?
A: Classic Modern and Avant-Garde
CULTURE
People culture. Quality over quantity.
I believe that everyone deserves to be inspired by the spaces they spend time in. Since 2015 I’ve been professionally creating original spaces, and adding my style of interior design, that is elegant, modern, soft or bold, comfortable, and deeply personal for the person I'm designing an abode for. My expertise revolves around versatility, attention to detail and limitless resources.
​
I love architecture and interior design, it's personal for you and for me.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
As an interior designer I have the freedom to create client-specific solutions that truly reflect the stye of any client. My end-goal is to create a never-before-seen space. An original piece. I love when a client gives me the space to dedicate my free flowing ability of designing great interiors. To me, this means that my client trusts me when it comes to design.
I believe that the purest form of architecture and design is a response to beauty. My creativity shows you that I can bring your space together beyond what you initially imagined.
"I bring your story together by story-telling within fabrics, paint, furniture, and lighting."
