“Amie was my design coach during an amazing week-long experience at Stanford's d.school. She's a rock star -- creative, organized, enthusiastic. Her facilitation and design chops were impressive and appreciated by a team new to design.”

–Adene Sacks, Co-Founder, With/In Collaborative

“Amie is a bright design thinker. I had met her at a Stanford d.school workshop where she coached teams on a design project for underserved community in a gentrified neighborhood. She smartly facilitated a successful team dynamic, showing creativity and leadership. It was a great pleasure working with Amie.”

–Elad Meshulam, Creative Lab Principal, International Monetary Fund

“Fantastic to work with Amie. A skilled design coach who navigated our team seamlessly through the co-design process in a social service system context, would highly recommend.”
