        I've known Amy for more than 9 years, and I've always been impressed with her steadfast desire to do the right thing in terms of creativity, stewardship and conveying the right message to the audience in an approachable format. Amy delivers quality work, every time. That she has a terrific personality is just icing on the cake. Kami Lund
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Amy is a great designer with a personality that adds flair to her work. When meeting with design clients, Amy has the uncanny ability to sift through the superfluous information and understand the heart of what the client is looking for. Her sense of humor comes through on all projects she works on, yet doesn't let any detail go. I'd work with Amy on any project that comes my way!
