About the speaker
Amber is a designer, illustrator, and hand lettering artist with a passion for the outdoors. Her colorful, often punny work is inspired by her interests: spending time outside any way she can, building a creative business, the ups and downs of owning far too many house plants, and, as a major introvert, spending time recharging at home. After years working as a professional graphic designer for non-profits and small businesses, in 2020 she took the leap and began working for herself full time, when her passion project, Subpar Parks, went viral, and went on to become a New York Times Bestselling book. Now she spends her time creating greeting cards, stickers, prints, and other products featuring her artwork.
When she's not creating new products or trying to keep her plants alive, she's probably hiking, camping somewhere in the middle of the desert in her Xterra, or fixing up the 125-year-old Victorian house she lives in with her husband, Taylor, and their feisty cat, Suki.
