Who We Are
Founder / Principal Designer
Thanks for your interest in Sloan Co. Design. We are a Southern California-based interior design studio working primarily with residential clients in Orange County communities. Some of our favorite communities are Villa Park, Fullerton, Cowan Heights, Orange, Tustin, Floral Park and the like!
Our approachable team works collaboratively with our clients to ensure their home authentically reflects their personal goals, values, and lifestyle. Well-planned, efficient processes and clear communication are top priorities in our firm, where it’s quite literally all about the details.
I'm Amanda Sloan, the owner and principal designer here at Sloan Co. With an architect for a father and an interior designer for a mother, I’ve lived, worked and played in this space my entire life. With a business background and degree, I know the importance of delivering projects that exceed our clients’ design expectations while maintaining their budget goals.
When you onboard with us, you’ll meet Jackie Blankenship, the organizational authority of the firm whose smile and “can do” attitude are contagious. Along with Jackie, you’ll meet other colleagues who all work to guide our clients seamlessly through each design decision until the very last detail is realized. Success to us is when a client and their family can’t wait to welcome friends and neighbors into their sacred space, home.
Our Detailed Approach
Six-Phase Process
There are a million details that come to life during the course of any design project, so we’ve broken our process down into 6 phases so that we can seamlessly move through your project life cycle. Review our design process below so that you know what you can expect when you hire Sloan Co Design, as your full-service design firm.

Project Onboarding +
Architectural Review
We begin by working in tandem with your architect and builder to make sure that your design goals and ideals are successfully integrated into the architectural plans. We provide feedback and recommendations on your floor plans and elevations, placing emphasis on understanding how you and your family live. We also determine a budget, because we know every client has one!

Design Oversight
When design elements are approved, we create an extensive Specification Book that is provided to your build team. It is referenced heavily on your project site to ensure design intent is realized throughout the build. We complete several job-walks through this phase to answer questions and problem solve with your builder and their trades. We focus on being the first line of defense to every contractor question so that you can breathe easy while we take care of the nitty gritty details.

Why We’re Different
We are proud of our track record in the Orange County interior design world, but there are plenty of design firms who can provide great design.
Here’s how we’re different:
We are approachable and we invite learning. Ask us anything, send us all the “I’m kind of afraid to ask this” questions. We love what we do so we equally love diving into conversation about it. In turn, we here at Sloan Co. are constantly learning as new products and new build techniques funnel into the market.
We know how to plan and manage the design aspects of a construction project. From the nitty gritty details to the big picture, we are process driven from start to finish.
We will incorporate your personal style into your home. Afterall, we won’t live there, you will! And we want YOU to love coming home.
We are thorough and dependable. We will continuously keep you in the know about what’s happening in your project timeline and your project budget. We come to our clients with solutions, not problems.
Are you ready to work with a partner you can count on?
