Based in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area, Eliza & Edison specializes in interior decoration and creative consulting. 

“Eliza” by Edison: Amy got an early start in the interior decoration and design field by tagging along with her interior designer mother to showrooms, model homes and client sites - probably offering a few of her own ideas along the way! With a father in real estate, Amy learned how to increase a home’s value through good design decisions. Amy studied fine arts, art education and art history at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Her unique combination of academic pursuits makes her a well-rounded designer. Her varied background in drawing and painting has given Amy a special talent for selecting colors. She is skilled in developing an overall conceptual direction while possessing a keen eye for detail. Amy enjoys mixing traditional and contemporary elements that weave together seamlessly to create spaces that are warm, inviting, and functional. When not scouring design showrooms, Amy enjoys scrolling through Pinterest, laughing with our children, caring for her collection of house plants, and experimenting in the kitchen.  

“Edison” by Eliza: Ever since childhood, Brian has been an architectural enthusiast and connoisseur. While other children were decorating arts and crafts projects with themes of soccer balls or cars, Brian was drawing colorful (yet structurally sound) skyscrapers from studying models made from play bricks. Growing up in Richmond, Virginia, Brian was exposed to many historical estates and a rich history of building. It should be no surprise that young Brian set his sights on becoming an architect and studying architecture at the gorgeous grounds of the University of Virginia, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. He worked in Richmond for two years as an intern architect before moving to Knoxville, Tennessee to pursue a Master of Architecture at the University of Tennessee. When he is not busy designing, Brian enjoys exploring new trails and parks with our children, strolling through museums and being an ace on the tennis court.
