A Native Texan, Amanda Overton was born and raised in the style-centric city of Dallas and schooled in the beats of eclectic Austin, where she spent most of her time in the bookstores and the culinary arts community. She then pursued a career in the fine art gallery scene in New Orleans in the mid '90's. After living in the French Quarter sipping Ceylon Tea and researching local artist, she made the big move to NYC. Four years living and working in the city, traveling abroad, studying fine art and antiques, visiting every museum daily during lunch breaks, she decided it was time to move West to Pasadena, California. In 2005, she joined the local Los Angeles home furnishings brand, Cisco Home, as a lead interior designer. There she honed her skills in the true art of master craftsmanship and the fundamentals of scale and proportion in furniture design. Furthering her vision of sustainable practices in manufacturing working with natural, environmentally friendly materials and years cultivating her design aesthetic and building long term relationships she launched Overton House Design in 2018.

​

She loves long drives listening to George Harrison, Vashti Bunyan, Folk or Classical. Gardening, natural dyes, textile design, sewing, reading paper books or drinking tea with friends, sharing meaningful conversations alongside her three rescue cats and her little rescue dog Petunia.
