Amber, the founder and owner of GREY PEARL Interior Design, has a deep connection to the world of design. She was born and raised in Brandon, MB, and began her design journey in British Columbia. She graduated with honours in Interior Design + Fundamentals from The Art Institute of Vancouver in 2006. After her studies, she returned to her Manitoba roots and spent over a decade refining her skills at URBANiKZ i.d.s in Winnipeg.
In 2019, she took a bold entrepreneurial step, launching her own Interior Design firm. Since then, Amber has achieved remarkable success, leaving her mark on high-end residential, corporate office spaces, and clinical environments. Her work has even garnered recognition on CTV and within the pages of Mint Magazine.
A distinguished Professional Interior Designer, Amber was recently inducted as a member of the Professional Interior Designers Institute of Manitoba (PIDIM), adding to her prestigious 2020 NCIDQ Certification. This combination of credentials places her among a select group of Manitoba’s design professionals, underscoring her deep commitment to health and safety, code compliance, accessibility, and sustainable, client-centered design.
Outside of her professional achievements, Amber enjoys life with her husband Mike and their two daughters, Isla (6) and Addi (2). They create cherished memories at their seasonal retreat in Lac du Bonnet, where they love boat rides and spending quality time with friends and family.
