Born in Montreal and educated in the U.S., Amanda Nisbet now lives in New York.  Early in life, she aspired to be an actress.  After a couple of commercials and small roles in smaller plays, she changed direction.  Acquaintances who loved the style of her apartment often asked for her help in decorating their own homes.  Amanda’s interior design skills come purely from talent — she did not go to design school or receive any formal training.  I’ve been fortunate enough to see her speak twice and find her work to be so inspiring.

What I like about Amanda Nisbet’s design style is the fearlessness of her work.  Her designs are saturated with color in combinations that are really empowering.  She has a great sense of scale with art and a playful, avant garde feel.  You can see her personality in her interiors.  I really identify with her love of color.
