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 honors 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.
Notably, in 2020, Amber attained the prestigious NCIDQ Certification (National Council of Interior Design Qualification), a distinction held by only a select few designers in Manitoba. This certification underscores her capacity to fulfill client needs effectively, encompassing aspects of health and safety, building code compliance, accessibility, design fundamentals, and professional practice.
Beyond her professional journey, Amber shares her life with her husband, Mike, and their two precious daughters, 5-year-old Isla and 1-year-old Addi. They find solace and make cherished memories at their seasonal retreat in Lac du Bonnet, relishing boat rides and quality time with friends and family.
