Ami joined Granoff Architects with a background in high-end hospitality and residential interior design shaped by both international and U.S. experience. She earned her Master of Fine Arts in Interior Design from NABA in Milan, one of Europe’s top design universities. Her foundation in design was built on Milan’s rigorous focus on concept development, exhibition design, and spatial planning. During her time in Milan, she was selected to design a site-specific exhibition at the renowned art house, Casa Degli Artisti, which was featured during the city’s prestigious Design Week—an experience that deepened her interest in narrative-driven environments and public space.
Ami began her career in Florence, Italy, where she contributed to hospitality interiors at a boutique design studio. She later worked with Bentel & Bentel, an award winning architecture and design firm known for its refined work in the hospitality sector. Her experience includes design for boutique hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, and private clubs—always with a focus on creating environments that balance atmosphere, function, and narrative. With a deep understanding of materials, procurement, and vendor coordination, Ami approaches each project with a meticulous eye and a collaborative spirit. She is passionate about crafting meaningful spaces that reflect a client’s vision while supporting operational needs.
Originally from the West Coast, Ami now resides in Beacon, NY. Outside of work, she enjoys exploring the Hudson Valley’s creative communities, visiting museums, and spending time outdoors.
