About the Owner

Amanda Stuckey is the founder and lead designer of ARS Design Studio, a design practice based in Lancaster, Ohio. A licensed architect in the state of Ohio with a degree from Virginia Tech, Amanda brings over eight years of experience to her work..

Before founding ARS Design Studio, Amanda worked with small firms on both residential and commercial projects, gaining hands-on experience across all phases of the design process. Today, she leads her own practice with a focus on creating holistically designed single-family homes.

While ARS Design Studio primarily works on residential projects, Amanda also takes on select commercial work that aligns with her values and design sensibility.

Whether designing a new build, a renovation, or a reimagined interior, Amanda takes a collaborative approach—working closely with clients and trusted partners to ensure each project reflects the unique goals and lifestyle of the people it serves. Her goal is to make the design process clear, approachable, and genuinely enjoyable—helping clients feel confident and inspired as they shape the places they care about most.

In addition to her architectural work, Amanda is a practicing artist. Her paintings (primarily watercolor) explore the intersection of architecture and art through geometric forms, and precise lines—bridging intuitive expression with structured design.
