History & Custom Build
Unfold originated from Amy Dutton Home. Our Founder Amy Dutton’s first job in design was at Bruce Gregga Interiors in Chicago upon graduating from DePauw College in 1988. The firm was divided equally between architects and interior designers, which inspired Amy’s great appreciation for the balance between the two practices. Upon moving to Maine in 1993, Amy quickly learned to add landscaping to her portfolio while working for a number of architecture and interior design firms. In 1998, after welcoming her second child, Elle, and realizing that daycare was a bit too expensive, Amy decided to go off on her own and create her own studio. Situated on the front porch (and playroom) of her tiny cape in coastal Maine, Amy spent early mornings and late nights at her drafting table honing her own design aesthetic and developing relationships with clients throughout the area. As her family and children grew, so did her business. In 2007, she purchased the building that Amy Dutton Home and Unfold still operates out of in Kittery, Maine. After twenty-four years of working throughout the Seacoast of New Hampshire and Maine, Amy has worked on over 160 custom projects, developing a clear entrepreneurial approach to working with both builders and homeowners alike.
