We had the good fortune of connecting with Amanda Peralta and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amanda, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I came up with Design Your Life Planner because I love celebrating people. I enjoy making people feel special, they matter and that they are heard. Ever since I was a young girl, I loved decorating for people’s birthdays. While I was in college, I interned as wedding assistant coordinator and worked as an event captain at the San Francisco Zoo. During the pandemic, I loved going on picnic dates with my partner, enjoying the beautiful outdoors. I love making our picnics cute and tailored to what we like. I wanted to show people a great way to just pause from this crazy time in life while being socially distant, It is as if they are on a mini vacation – nice view, greta ambiance and great company.

What should our readers know about your business?
Design Your Life Planner helps clients design a moment in their life. The client becomes a designer as well and is involved in the planning process. They have to really think about the person they are celebrating and know all the special details that they like. From picking their special someone’s favorite flowers, a photo they love or even a card. Our small business is a personal and intimate experience. We love learning about your friendship, family and love story,

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Great spots in San Diego for a great picnic: Sunset Cliffs is absolutely timeless. The view is breathtaking and never gets old. Hotel Del Coronado is a historical beauty of San Diego. Nice white sand and you can explore the hotel and grab food & drinks. Poway Lake is a great spot for family picnics. A beautiful lake with ducks that never gets crowded. Great for COVID friendly outings.
