I’m Amy Winkler, a designer, artist, and educator with a background in visual communication and creative education.

My background includes graphic design, UX/UI, illustration, exhibit design, and art education. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with artists, musicians, nonprofits, museums, small businesses, startups, and federal contractors, creating brand identities, websites, educational materials, and interactive exhibits. I’ve also taught design and art to students of all ages, from community programs to college and now public school classrooms.

Today, I teach 4th–8th grade art, where I bring together the things that have shaped my career. In the classroom, I design projects that give students opportunities to build confidence through the creative process.
