Welcome to my Website:
My name is Amparo Del Rio. 
MY BELIEF that our surroundings have a profound effect on us, comes from the different places I have lived. I was born in Chile and lived there until I was 12. Subsequently I lived in France, Pennsylvania and California, where I learned to appreaciate different cultural and artistic norns. One after another, these experiences, much like chapters in a book, shaped my vision as a designer, and I understand how different surroundings shape our vision and our personality.
I started my graphic design business in 1982, specializing in magazines, books, and marketing materials. As creative director I loved to transform the look and feel of a magazine or book, and worked with editors, photographers, and illustrators to produce a unique and lasting identity in which the text stood out. I received many awards, and after 22 years I decided to expand my horizons.
In 2007, I received a certificate in Interior Architecture and Interior Design from UC Berkeley. Interior design is the perfect way to combine an eye for spatial relationships and color with my love for creating graphic places to live and work.
As an artist, I have always been interested in architecture, graphic design and painting. As a designer, my motto is “Design to Improve Life” and my goal is to make the world simpler and easier to understand. Whether it’s a website, magazine, logo, or kitchen, every project is unique to me.
