More About Amy Pins:
Outside of work, I am a proud single mother to an amazing college-aged daughter who inspires me every day. Creativity has always been a big part of my life, whether I am quilting, drawing, or painting. I find joy in making things by hand and appreciate the balance that creative pursuits bring.
When I am not designing or creating, you will usually find me outdoors enjoying nature, watching a great movie, or exploring the arts. When winter arrives, there is a good chance you will find me curled up with a blanket, warm drink, and a Hallmark movie marathon.
I believe the same curiosity, creativity and appreciation for detail that I enjoy in my personal life also shape the way I approach my work and the relationships I build along the way.
