Growing up, Amy spent much of her time alone in the dark. Playmates were rare, until she stumbled upon an urban hideout called the Columbus College of Art & Design. Four years passed, and Amy was hired as a shoe-handler and beast-wrangler by a man who lived in a white box. When that man decided he no longer needed her services, Amy discovered that working for herself was pretty much the best thing ever.

Amy works as a freelance photographer, retoucher and/or assistant, depending on the day. She always has too many things to do, and always asks for more.
