“My favorite experience at Overstock was mentoring with Amy’s creative team. Amy supervised the construction of a machine-learning-enabled 3D/CGI asset pipeline that boosted SEO and reduced Overstock’s production costs. Her talent in gathering necessary resources, streamlining, strategizing, and art direction for the project was inspirational.

Aside from her marketing savvy in photography and graphic design, Amy’s direct and good-humored communication style wins the trust of external clients and C-suite executives. Within the teams she leads, Amy offers precise and actionable creative feedback, fostering an atmosphere of joyful collaboration.

When presenting, Amy is articulate, concise, and absorbing. In anticipation of questions, she always has solid reasoning to support her workflow and design decisions. I especially admire her ability to make complex technical details comprehensible to non-experts.

Amy is exactly the person you need to lead your creative team.”

-Ron Naples, Visual Merchandiser, Scandinavian Designs

"I worked with Amy for about 4 years. She was in charge of photography for our website and did a beautiful job of it. She had her hands full with new product coming in every month but managed to keep up while taking the time to make sure every shot properly represented the merchandise. She took on a huge project of shooting hundreds of fabric samples for the site and getting the colors correct. Amy managed to get this done while not letting the photography of the new inventory slip.

She is industrious and diligent in her work. She had to be organized to get everything done. Beyond that, Amy is a positive and energetic person. She is a pleasure to work with."
