Ninety-Two Design Co.

I’m amanda. owner and designer here at ninety-two design co. it all started with a dream and here we are. ...if it was only that easy. after a degree in radiation physics, a license in radiation therapy, working at a major hospital for 6 years, taking design classes after my 10 hour shifts for weeks on end, designing for my first wedding in my parent's basement, countless lessons learned, so many cuts and bruises, building a she shed studio and pulling all nighters designing for our couples - we are finally here. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I was going into college. I knew I was a creative and caretaker but being a first generation college graduate to two immigrant parents was my priority. when working as a radiation therapist, I knew something was missing and it was being able to create and use my hands. I tried a countless amount of different hobbies and activities to see if anything really stuck. the older I got though the more I thought about my childhood and my foundation. throughout my entire childhood and teenage life, I grew up living with both my grandparents and parents. both generations were born on the island of sao miguel and I never forgot that. they never forgot their agricultural routes, especially my grandfather. he created the most exquisite fruit, vegetable and flower gardens. grape vine trellises, fields of zinnias and snapdragons and all the fruit a girl could want. I vividly remember the cherry blossom tree in our side yard and eating dinner underneath the grapevine trellis the size of a garage. that’s when I realized this was it. I needed to be surrounded by flowers - always.
