Episode 9: Shaker - Intrigue Boutique

Amanda opened Intrigue Boutique in 2015 alongside her business partner and longtime friend Jill.  After a few years Amanda couldn't ignore her love for interior design and went back to school in the field. That's where Amanda met Lisa and Madison, who she would open Form Studio in March 2020. Amanda is a long time animal lover, and when she's not busy with work you can find her hanging in her backyard with one of her dogs. Amanda's always down for some yoga and a glass of wine on a great patio.
