Vermont Narrative Identity
About The Designer
Amanda Van Eps
is a Vermont native and multidisciplinary designer based in Brandon, VT. She received her certification as a Residential Interior Designer (RIDE) from Vermont State University (VTSU) and is a member of the Designer Society of America (DSA). As a systems-minded designer, Amanda approaches her work through the lens of inclusion and perception, integrating aesthetics, accessibility, and empathy into each project.
She has worked as a Kitchen and Bath Designer, completing residential projects across Vermont and New York. Amanda also owns and operates Haus of Van Eps, a design studio focused on sustainable interiors, creative direction, and social impact art installations.
Her creative work has been recognized statewide and nationally. She is an exhibiting artist in the 2025 Catamount Arts Juried Members Exhibition, a Rare Artist Award finalist through the EveryLife Foundation, and a selected participant in multiple regional arts and advocacy showcases. Her installations, often rooted in lived experience, explore perception, policy, and the systems that shape public life.
Amanda was recently appointed to the Rare Disease Legislative Advocate (RDLA) Advisory Committee, representing Vermont in national policy conversations. She also serves as a Commissioner for the Vermont Commission on Women (VCW), contributes to statewide initiatives as a Board Member for Disability Rights Vermont (DRVT), and strengthens regional engagement as Secretary and Outreach/Membership Chair for Rutland Young Professionals (RYP). She also serves as Vice President and Co-Founder of One Room Theatrics (ORT), curating costumes and sets for local productions.
Guided by her Inclusive Perception Framework and Systems Alignment Method™, Amanda blends design, art, and civic engagement to make systems of access, equity, and empathy more visible.
When not designing or creating, she enjoys paddleboarding, hiking, snowshoeing, and spending time with her two rescue pets.
