Inspired Moment
A kind compliment from a client – “You are truly amazing Amaza!”

Amaza has a no-nonsense business approach — with the big picture always in mind. She believes good design enhances an individual’s experience, especially spaces with a unique design story. Amaza describes her projects as distinctive and layered with thoughtful details — whether a hotel, private home, island retreat, office building, multi-unit residential development, or luxury senior living.

Influenced by her upbringing in Macau and knowledge of Chinese culture and language, Amaza knows how a mix of cultures can shape cities and give each place its flavor — from architecture and lifestyle to cuisines. She celebrates this understanding in her work with enhanced sensitivity to context, aesthetics, and atmosphere to create mindful, engaging, and inspiring places.

Amaza defines a successful project as one that promotes well-being, creates comfort, and promotes responsible innovation with sustainable resources.  She is adept at every step of the creation process — from envisioning functional spaces through documentation, to ensure the design narrative is communicated via finishes, furniture, and lighting. Her goal for each project is a happy client.

Known for her creative savvy, listening skills, and detailed approach, Amaza works diligently to create a work environment for her teammates that brings satisfaction and opportunities for personal growth.
