Amy Gallaher

 

Graphic Designer
Visionist, creative and mentor

Don't be too hasty to file Amy away as another internet techie... behind her extraordinary portfolio in the cold, cold cyber-netherlands, breathes an affable, nimble-minded, hip, funny and quirky city girl tucked away in bucolic Napa Valley. All of this becomes inescapably palpable as soon as you encounter her inspiring creations in sculpture, design, illustration and photography, animated by her instinctive pursuit of cultural Nirvana.

Following her summa cum laude graduation from Hofstra University in Interdisciplinary Studies, with an emphasis on Interactive Multimedia (completing the four-year studies in only three), Amy has contributed her boundless imagination to both creative agencies and Fortune 500 companies, including such names as Hasbro and Procter & Gamble.

An inspired teacher, Amy developed and wrote curricula for the Electronic Media Technology program at the University of Cincinnati where she taught web design and multimedia production, sitting on the department's advisory board in her "free time".

Since 1996, Amy has designed for the web, driven by a philosophy centering on a no-nonsense foundation of usability, grounded upon a two-year association with Jakob Nielsen, dubbed by Fortune Magazine as the "reigning guru of web page usability".

Amy's vocational perspective is simple, as this down-to-earth Phi Beta Kappa enthusiastically proclaims that she lives for design. Judging by the life that radiates from her inspired inventions, we're inclined to believe it may be the other way around.
