Amanda Simmons, Owner & Principle Designer
We get it — hiring an interior designer in can feel intimidating. Between concerns about budget, timelines, and surrendering control, you may feel hesitant to hand over the style reins.
That’s why we pride ourselves on a relationship-first approach.
It’s not just the trust forged between you and us (although we like to think we’ll be great friends by the end of your project!). It’s also the focus we put on your family. With your specific desires in mind, we curate finishes, fabrics, furniture, and an overall experience that feels both elevated and easy.
We’re real team players around here (and not just because Amanda’s obsessed with football)
Before she was winning her own Paper City Design Awards or landing eight-page spreads in Southern Living, Amanda gained real-time experience working for other award-winning design firms in Houston. After honing her unique aesthetic — and desiring to help clients do the same — she opened Amanda Simmons Interiors in 2016. Amanda now leads a team of five skilled women to execute high-end residential design projects in Houston, with out of state projects completed in Florida, North Carolina, Connecticut, and beyond.
A proud Texas A&M grad (Gig ‘em!), Amanda is as passionate about personalized interior design as she is about college football. If she’s not visiting your site, sourcing one-of-a-kind elements for your project, or holding meetings at the ASI office, she’s probably hanging out in her pink kitchen with her husband, daughter, and rescue dog — ideally with Thai takeout.
After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi with an interior design degree, Audrey moved to Houston to work with Amanda in 2018. And she hasn’t looked back since — especially because she met her husband here, and they have recently welcomed their first daughter into the world! When she isn’t helping manage and execute your design project with poise, she might be hiking with her two rescue dogs and/or drinking Diet Coke.
Favorite Fabric: GP&J Baker Magnolia in Cream/Blue
With a BFA in Interior Design and a minor in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art & Design, Alex brings a love for interiors rooted in the timeless charm of Southern traditional design. She loves creating spaces that feel both elegant and unexpected, with a particular passion for textile design and pattern making. Outside of the office, Alex is a watercolor and multimedia artist who loves traveling and finding inspiration in the art, architecture, and details of the places she visits.
Favorite Room to Design: Kids bedrooms & playrooms
After following Amanda’s design career since their college days at Texas A&M, Liz found her way to ASI. With a sociology degree and a knack for keeping all the details in order, she handles procurement, billing, and project support—the behind-the-scenes logistics that help bring each design to life. As a wife and mom of two girls (and two elderly dogs), Liz spends her free time antique hunting, traveling, and fighting over the last Diet Coke with Audrey.
Favorite Hobbies: Thrifting for antiques and designer clothes
With a background in finance, real estate, and marketing—and a longtime love of interiors—Shannon found the perfect fit at ASI after graduating from The University of Alabama in May 2026. Together with Liz, she keeps things moving behind the scenes while lending her creative eye to ASI’s TikTok, newsletter, and other marketing and brand projects. Outside the office, Shannon loves Pilates, hosting the perfect girls’ night (wine and cheese always included), discovering Houston’s best coffee spots, and finding any excuse to go on a trip.
