I had the opportunity to work with Amy for 15+ years. I found Amy very efficient, able to multi task very well and creative. Often times I knew the information I wanted conveyed but wasn't sure how to best present it. I would ask Amy to use her "artist license" and was often very pleased with the outcome. Amy is hard working, task oriented and seems to enjoy being a Graphic Artist. I would recommend you contact Amy if you are looking for a Graphic Artist.
