Amy wanted to replicate the formerly personal New York City expe- rience in Red Bank. She realized that " clients didn't want to go into the city but they wanted uniqueness in design, they wanted accessibility". e sensory details of design are especially impactful at RBDC; cus- tomers are invited to "come in, and sit, touch, and feel in a shop con- cept", and leave with a better understanding of their taste in interior design. Amy's persistence and courage in creating an authentic, New York City-style atmosphere set the foundation for her innovations in Red Bank Design Center. Reflecting back on the growth of her business, Amy says "I'm very proud, because six years ago, there was nothing on this end of the street. We're really a destination- we are an anchor of the town". She then uttered a phrase that she considered to be a cliche, but sounded more like a creative philosophy: "It's 'we', not 'me'", stating that while she learns from her clients, she also learns from other designers. She also recognizes the importance of the community in helping her busi- ness grow and flourish; making Red Bank Design Center a business where people can drop in with their spouses, families, or friends. e center's showroom and library is constantly changing and updating with the latest beautiful and contemporary products. Always a delight to visit the showroom. "I really wanted to give back to the community," Amy said. "And with Red Bank Design Center, we have created a design community that we all benefit from."
