Amy is contagious. She can make an ordinary day extraordinary. Her love for life and the creative process shows in everything she does. Her ability to listen and become in tune with her clients allows her to create wonderful environments, which are true to themselves. If you simply stop by to do some shopping you will be happy you did. If you decide to invite her into your home for design you will have a journey like no other…. Surroundings3 is not Amy’s first born; The Spindletree in Farmingdale, NJ was owned and operated by her for 17 years. Then it was time to concentrate solely on the design business so Amy Riger Designs was established and still operates today. Realizing that she had more work ahead and was missing the retail scene she envisioned a retail store consisting of furniture and accessories that were displayed in vignettes showcasing her talent to bring out the best no matter what look it is.
Amy is the essence of Surroundings3.

I met Ginny through her own design job! When she called to interview me as the potential designer for her kitchen renovation I just knew from our first conversation that the opportunity to meet her and work with her would present a chance for some wonderful things to occur! At that moment I did not realize just how much we were going to accomplish together. Through the completion of her design job we started sharing our lives and realized that we had parallel needs and opposite skills, two incredibly interactive motives needed to run a successful business. Ginny’s background with Macy’s Product Development Group as an Associate Brand Director brought to the picture knowledge of sourcing, manufacturing, fabrics and business planning; after 2 years of us revisiting the possibility of opening Surroundings3 we decided to take a giant leap. We did and now my former client is my business partner, my confidant, and my closest friend. She has embraced running this company with both the vengeance of an information seeking student and the professionalism of a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. And, thank goodness she has worked with other creative people for she is intuitive in her understanding about how I truly work.
