Bio
Christopher Fidalgo
Amy's art always comes with two critical features: the perfect quality and her style. It's rare that anyone can meet the requirements of the project so well while their talent and flair remains. Every piece of art that Amy touched was improved by her. She's always been incredible and somehow continues to get better.
OMEED DARIANI
We brought Amy on to reinforce our art team, which was under incredible demands. In her role, Amy was asked to adapt to the style of a world-class illustrator, be creative within that design space and set vision for individual assets, all against a very aggressive set of deadlines. We also asked her to serve as a graphic designer across several media. I was constantly impressed with Amy's ability to adapt to the changing demands of her role, as well as her ability to produce top-level assets day over day. Amy has a great personality and attitude and is comfortable working with a wide range of people. She is an excellent communicator and facilitator as well, and was frequently able to set and maintain the art team's creative vision despite external challenges. Artistically, we brought Amy in for a support role, but it quickly became clear that she could have also acted as a lead artist or art director. Her eye for design, wide stylistic range and ability to take any level of direction and translate it into strong work were very impressive. I would definitely hire Amy again - and offer a very strong recommendation to anyone considering her for a creative role.
