AMY McARdle

Co-Founder/ Principal Designer

The classical modernist of the duo, Amy is guided as much by intuition as by structure. Shaped by a globally rooted upbringing and formative training in New York City, her work is defined by proportion, material nuance, and a refined sense of restraint. Born in New York and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Amy grew up between worlds. Her education at international schools and frequent travels with her family ignited a fascination with diverse cultures and shaped her sophisticated eye for beauty and detail.

After several years in politics with the United Nations and Capitol Hill, Amy returned to her initial childhood dream. She joined White Webb, an award-winning interior design firm based in New York City. There she trained under Matthew White, an AD 100 designer, and Frank Webb, the modernist of the design duo. In 2014, Amy relocated from New York City to Florida with her husband and today, her portfolio spans Manhattan pied-à-terres, Palm Beach escapes, and sprawling waterfront estates. Renowned for her tailored sophisticated style, Amy has become a trusted name among elite athletes, luxury brands, CEOs, and discerning clients. An accredited member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), Amy was named a featured designer in Architectural Digest’s AD PRO Directory in 2025 and was selected as a designer for the 2026 Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach.

Amy’s work has been featured across regional, national, and international media, including Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor, LUXE, Florida Design, House Beautiful, Homes & Gardens, Palm Beach Illustrated, Jupiter Magazine, Business of Home, and Homeworthy.

Jenni Taffe

Co-Founder/ Principal DEsigner

Jenni Taffe brings an intuitive, story-driven approach to design, shaping spaces through atmosphere, materiality, and movement. Her work is rooted in the belief that interiors should be experienced—not just seen—revealing themselves through light, texture, and the rhythms of daily life.

Her career spans luxury hospitality, experiential environments, large-scale events, and high-end residential design. Early in her career, Jenni founded and led a highly successful, high-end event company and floral design studio in Los Angeles, producing immersive, design-forward environments that refined her eye for scale, composition, and emotional impact. She later went on to found and operate a luxury lifestyle boutique in Scottsdale, further sharpening her instincts for curation, merchandising, and brand-driven spaces—sensibilities that continue to inform her interiors today.

As her husband’s professional hockey career took their family across the United States and throughout Europe, Jenni spent several years living in Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, and Russia. Immersed in diverse cultures and ways of living, she developed a deeper understanding of how environment, ritual, and daily movement through a home influence both experience and well-being—an awareness that remains central to her design philosophy.

Jenni later served as Head of Design and Co-Creative Director for a luxury boutique hotel in Malibu and has since led the design of multi-million-dollar residential renovations, destination vacation properties, and design-forward hospitality projects across the country. Her work consistently balances sophistication with soul, creating spaces that feel timeless, grounded, and deeply personal.
