AMANDA Ecelbarger- Interior Designer & VIBE CREATOR

Amanda has been creating stunning homes, events, shops, offices, spaces, and places for 13 years. In 2009, she graduated at the top of her class from Savannah Collage of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Interior Design and a minor in sculpture.

Her vast range of experience, love for travel, passion for nature, and obsession with unique textiles and vintage furniture, all define her immense knowledge of art, fabrication and style. She designs for function, beauty and feel.

“Design is not just about looks,” Amanda shares. “What’s more important is the energy it exudes. How do you feel in the space? How does your partner and or friends feel? Your clients, the public? What is the tone and intention of the space? These questions are what set the foundation to a timeless, beautiful, functional interior.”

No two projects are alike. Each space and collaboration is truly as one-of-a-kind as her clients and always custom curated to align with their lifestyles, needs, wants and budgets.

TIMothy Ecelbarger - BUILDER & MASTER CRAFTSMaN

Tim’s passion for building began at a young age as he found himself leading large crews of painters and drywallers at the age of 18. Raised in Central Florida, he took a managing position with an established painting contractor and quickly began achieving results on projects in the Orlando area including at Disney World, Universal Studios, Omni Hotels and Westgate Resorts among many others.

From building hand-hewn log cabins in rural Northern California, to constructing and remodeling designer homes in the Bay Area, to crafting specialty music studios and cocktail bars in Los Angeles, his ongoing dedication and inspiration has carried him to success in each of his projects.

Whether it be meeting with clients to discuss overall scope and goals, or working in tandem with subcontractors to achieve the smallest details - Tim truly sees and appreciates the value in a job-well-done.
