Ani Mandara Sandoval
Ani Mandara Sandoval is not your traditional designer. A native of Darien, CT and a graduate of Syracuse University, she started her professional life in the world of television production, where an 8+ year career found her at Saturday Night Live, The VIEW, Good Morning America, and MTV. This may have been her day job, but every chance she’d get, she would satisfy her design urges by lending her natural eye and chic taste to friends and family - designing interiors, styling bookshelves and rearranging rooms (oh, the rearranging!).
In 2013, Ani decided to take a leap of faith and change her path, to fulfill her lifelong dream of ‘officially’ becoming an interior designer. And she’s never looked back. She honed her craft working for some of the most renowned design firms in the tri-state area; most notably Foley & Cox, Jennifer Flanders, and Morgan Harrison Home.
Ani lives by the notion that, “Luck is the residue of design. Expect the unexpected and be willing to take chances - also, have fun!” She lives in Greenwich, CT with her husband, 2 boys and 2 Pomeranians.
