nice to meet you!
Here is a little about me, what I do, and why I love doing it.
hey there, i'm amy!Graphic Designer + Creative Director, with over 20 years experience. I am passionate about helping mission-driven organizations uplift their brand and communications thru design.
As a solo business owner, I handle everything from the initial ideas to the final product – ensuring each project gets my full attention, creativity, and care. My mission is simple: develop creative solutions, through purposeful design, with a full circle joy approach. When you work with me, you're not just hiring a designer – you're gaining a creative partner who listens deeply, brings order to complexity, and makes the creative process feel organized, transparent, and even...fun! On a personal note, I’m inspired by nature, creativity, cozy cafés, and meaningful connections. I enjoy life with my husband, two children, and two fur babies who keep me grounded and grateful every day. Thank you for stopping by! I'd love to connect and explore how we can work together. |

Q&A
Curious about my process, strengths, or what it's like to work together? Every project’s a little different, but I like to keep things clear and collaborative. Here’s a bit more about my process and vibe...
What would you say are your strengths as a creative?
As a graphic designer and creative partner, one of my strengths is really listening to clients and understanding what they’re trying to communicate. I enjoy learning about the “why” behind a brand or project, so the creative is meaningful. I’m always looking ahead, exploring fresh ideas, and making sure each project is aligned with the client’s vision and values.
What can someone expect when they work with you?
Working with me is a partnership built on trust and transparency. I believe in clear communication, no hidden fees, and no fluff. I ask questions to learn what really matters to my clients, offer honest insights, and help shape their ideas into something intentional and impactful. And, I LOVE a good round-table creative collaboration!
What drives your work beyond the creative?
Generosity. My work is deeply rooted in something beyond creativity – it’s personal. During a challenging chapter in our lives, we experienced hitting rock bottom. It was the generosity, guidance, and support of others that helped us find our way back to the surface. That experience changed me – and now, it fuels everything I do.
I’m passionate about supporting individuals and organizations that help others through their own difficult seasons. That’s why I give back whenever I can – whether it’s through discounted services, creative support, or donating to causes that align with my heart.
Supporting mission-driven work isn’t a side project; it’s woven into the heart of my business – because generosity helped us rebuild, and I’m committed to passing it on.
Why do you use images of rust on your site?
There’s something about rust that stops me in my tracks – the colors, the texture, the perfectly imperfectness. I’m drawn to old things: faded signs, dented tractors, barns with leaning walls and peeling paint. They’re imperfect, but full of story and character.
To me, those weathered details are a reminder that beauty isn’t always polished – it’s layered, lived-in, and deeply human. That’s the kind of creative work I strive for: intentional, textured, and rooted in meaning. Whether I’m designing a brand identity or shaping a campaign, I’m always looking for that richness – the thing that tells a story beneath the surface.
What’s your ideal creative atmosphere?
My ideal creative space is quiet, with low light, and ambient music playing in the background. Some of my favorite Spotify playlists are: Dreamy Forest Music, Breathe, and Peaceful Retreat. It helps me stay focused and in the flow – ya know, like I’m tucked away in a cabin somewhere with nothing but the project in front of me and a warm mug nearby. It creates space for ideas to unfold quietly and naturally.
