WHO IS AMH
Our Story
Our journey here at AMH Design began in December 2017, when Abbi Hepworth embarked on an entrepreneurial journey to establish an interiors division.
As Abbi poured her heart into her craft, the business flourished. In February 2021, she added the very first AMH employee. Soon after, Abbi also hired a procurement manager to expand our services for an all-encompassing approach.
In 2022, the business underwent a transformative rebrand, emerging as AMH Design. Now, we are based in a beautiful office in Boise, with our projects spanning across the nation. From one client to a full portfolio, the AMH Design team is more dedicated and passionate than ever to take on exciting new projects and expand our creative horizons.
OUR TEAM
The Faces Behind the Stunning Spaces
MANAGING PRINCIPAL - OWNER
Abbi Hepworth
Abbi is the founder, managing partner, and creative lifeblood of AMH Design. In her day-to-day, she manages the interiors team, supervises all projects, and nurtures the growth of the interior design business. She enjoys every facet of the design process, spanning from the initial conception, the development of 3D rendering, the creation of construction documents, and collaborating directly with clients to realize their vision.
Abbi’s love for fashion and design started at a young age. At age 7, she started sketching elevations and section cuts through houses with the help of her grandma, an interior designer. Abbi went on to attend University of Idaho and earned a Bachelor of Interior Design, with a complementary minor in architecture. She has also obtained certification in interior design (NCIDQ). In her free time, you may find Abbi and her husband, Grady, enjoying the outdoors together. Some of her favorites include golfing, running, and skiing.

She also provides critical support to marketing, managing principal duties, and the company’s day-to-day operations.
Shauna is based out of Spokane, Washington but frequently visits the office in Boise and helps with onsite installs. Outside of spreadsheets, you’ll find her experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen or spending time with her family. Good food and good company are her absolute favorites. During the winter season, her weekends are spent hitting the slopes with her husband.
