Amy is currently building the practice and culture of a black-led, women-led design startup pursuing new ideas and approaches through diversity within the lived experience. Previously, Amy led visual design at IDEO, using design thinking methodology in areas where design isn’t normally part of the conversation, for example to create a toolkit for lower-income Americans who have not recovered from the financial crash of 2008. She has taught design thinking and prototyping at Venture for
America, NYU, and a nonprofit for at risk high school students; and worked at Tomorrow Partners, Carbone Smolan Agency, and The New York Times.
