GET TO KNOW OUR TEAM

NADIA CARLIN

Nadia always had the dream of starting her own interior design company. Now, as one of the co-owners of Blue Lily, that dream has become a reality. After living in Buffalo, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Sydney, Australia, Nadia found her way back home to Erie. She is a graduate of McDowell High School and received her BFA at Edinboro University with a concentration in Photography. She is a member of the National Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) along with  the International Association of Home Staging Professionals  (IAHSP). She takes pride in getting to know her clients and understanding how they live on a day-to-day basis to better design and transform the space of their dreams. Creativity and passion go a long way, as she has never walked into a space without a vision. 

 

Nadia also works at her husband's dental practice, Beautiful Smiles, as the Finance and Payroll Administrator. When she is not working she enjoys cooking, gardening, attending live music and traveling anywhere and everywhere. But nothing compares to the time she gets to spend with her husband, Drew, and their three boys William, Patrick & Daniel and of course, her furry children, Louie & Hamilton and who can forget Garrett the Parrot. Being a mom of three kids and three pets, she knows how valuable it is to have a calming and functional home to ease all of the chaos. Her mantra is “Work Hard and Play Hard”.

AMANDA SPEROS

Born and raised in a small town in northwest Ohio, Amanda has lived in Virginia, Washington DC, Greece, and Maryland before she, her husband Bill, and their four children moved to Erie in 2014.  Amanda has always had a passion for interior design and real estate and was one of the founding partners of Blue Lily in 2018.

 

Amanda graduated from The Ohio State University with a BS in Business Administration and is a member of the national Real Estate Staging Association and IHSA.  She loves helping her clients transform their spaces into functional, meaningful, and beautifully styled homes. Amanda has a passion for creative lighting and unique furniture pieces that is evident in her projects. Most importantly, she understands the demands of a busy family and loves to provide her clients with designs and products that can stand up to the demands of day-to-day life. 

 

When not at Blue Lily, Amanda loves spending time with her family and friends, traveling and, on occasion, squeezing in some tennis time.

ANGIE RIDEL

Angie is the most recent addition to the Blue Lily team. She is an Erie native, but managed to move 10 times in 14 years; living in Pittsburgh, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Germany throughout college and her husband being in the Air Force. She is a graduate of the Erie County Technical School for Commercial Art, as well as the Art Institute of Pittsburgh with an Associate’s Degree in Multimedia & Web Design.

 

Angie most recently spent the past 6 years running a local children’s resale store handling advertising, daily operations, and merchandising. She’s a bit of a renaissance woman doing graphic design, customer relations, online and social media work, and keeping things organized so the Design Team can focus on what they do best. When she’s not busy with her family, she enjoys lots of coffee, baking, cake decorating, movie nights, and dreaming about naptime.
