About this Lister

Co-founded by long-time best friends and artistic confidants Amanda Swain and Daisy Hook, Chimera Design celebrates boundless thinking while preserving and honoring the working knowledge and principles of Architecture and Design. Their informed design process is playful, investigative, and supportive of independent artisans and makers. At the heart of Chimera is a deeply thoughtful, collaborative, and fulfilling design process for all involved.

With immense respect for each other, clients, and their artist collaborators, Daisy and Amanda regard their work as designers as a privilege approached with utmost reverence. Daisy’s sensibility lies in the emotions evoked by aesthetic decisions and the science of architecture. Amanda cultivates the world of custom-built furniture and champions the importance of reaching the truest expression of an intended concept. Chimera shares a devotion to all aspects of design, resulting in spaces that are not only beautiful but also reflect clients’ dreams for the world.

Background and Expertise

Amanda and Daisy met over a decade ago while studying Interior Architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design. Mutually compelled by the other's background and perspective, they were immediately drawn to each other, and soon discovered an innate ability to collaborate symbiotically. Today, their partnership is an intertwining of visions, aptitudes, and values.

After graduating in 2014, Daisy and Amanda began careers in high-end residential and commercial design on opposite coasts. In New York City, Daisy turned her focus to healing spaces and sustainable perspectives. In the Bay Area, Amanda built an expansive community of independent artisans, designers, peers, and advocates. Distance bearing no issue to consistent communication, their relationship deepened and evolved from friends, to collaborators, to business partners.

As Chimera Design, Daisy and Amanda have refined a complementary process consisting of progressive encounters and reconciliations between, at times, seemingly divergent approaches and perspectives.
