About Amanda Morales-Malik

There’s a lot going on in our day to day lives, but one thing is certain - our environment is now, more than ever becoming a staple of our well-being. To cut through all the information overload we’re experiencing, our spacial conditions need to be meaningful and offer us more than our technology. We need spaces that inspire people to pause, gather, connect, and restore. Achieving the perfect workplace ecosystem is never a one-size fits all solution. I truly believe the best solutions come from active listening and empathetically putting myself in each clients’ shoes. I work daily to help clients from all sectors create effective and sustainable environments based on their individualized company culture - where workplace strategy meets FF & E, beyond aesthetics. I’ve worked holistically from several angles of the market, starting my formal training in Architecture in a human psychology-focused program, working as a BD responsible for curating a brand response from the entire West Coast through events & installations, and lastly working with a multitude of Architecture & Design firms on specific interior projects ranging in all sectors of the market. I pride myself in being a continuous mode of learning & development, aka a “Work in Progress” so to speak. Outside of work, I am Director-Elect (VP) of our local International Interior Design Association, IIDA San Francisco City Center board. IIDA supports design professionals, educators, students, firms, and their clients through a network of members across 58 countries to continually increase the value and understanding of Interior Design. We provide community outreach and a vibrant community for those interested in design and we advocate for advancements in design excellence, education, legislation, and accreditation. You can also find me hiking Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County outside SF on the weekends or trying out the latest painting techniques on my back patio.
