Meet Amy:

DTAmyHeller

Tell me a little bit about yourself:

First of all, I am super excited to be on this team with all these fabulous designers! I’m a SAHM and professional graphic designer and brand developer – freelancing for the last 7 years. I am a volunteer for my local MOMS Club Board as Treasurer and am I a room parent for my 2nd grade daughter.  Originally from WA state, we live about 60 miles from NYC and a world away from what we’re used to. But it is fun that we are just a hop-skip-and-a-jump to such a fantastic city!


When did you start crafting?

I started crafting as a child – first in illustration and collage. I wanted to be a fashion designer growing up and even sketched out many lines of clothing. But I’m not much of a sewer so that didn’t pan out. LOL. Then it was interior design, which is still my true passion. Then in college I decided to stick with graphic design. When my daughter was 2, in 2004, was when I began to scrapbook a little. But it wasn’t until 2008 that it became an obsession. I started making cards in 2009.

What is your favorite embellishment for your projects?
I would probably say buttons – I use them on both my cards and scrapbooking. But I love ribbon and natural fibers as well, like hemp, jute and twine.

What is your favorite color or color combination?
I really love kraft and combining all sorts of colors and pattern with that. As far as specific color combination I love rainbows right now. It really varies by what I am inspired by at the time.

Your favorite snack food while crafting?
Since I do most of my crafting during the day on weekends, it’s usually my lattes – I’m not a night owl, unfortunately.

Your favorite source of inspiration?
Etsy and Flickr – you can find anything through either source. There are SO many creative people out in the world and I love to just soak it all in!

Describe your style in two words.
Whimsical. Creative
