Amy Miles is an interior designer based in the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney and was formerly based in the Northern Beaches. Amy’s vision is to create beautiful, sensory spaces which speak of the people she works with. She is focused on designs which connect spaces to the surrounding environment. Creating natural and timeless spaces which seek to not only meet her clients needs but create experiences which enrich her clients.
