Prior to becoming an original Jelly-ista, Amy worked as an independent art director and designer in print and new media with studios including Funny Garbage and Alexander Isley Design.

Amy received her Design MFA as SVA's 2000 Graduate Valedictorian (where she met Miriam). Her first Design/Fine Arts degree was from Paier College of Art, and she has since studied Printmaking with Gunars Prande, Typeface Design with Ed Benguiat and Typography with
Wolfgang Weingart.

She is currently a member of the Graphic Design faculty at NYU, and has taught Advanced Typography at SUNY Purchase College, and has been a Guest Lecturer at SVA's MFA Design program.

Amy has contributed to the AIGA Journal, the CADC Quernecia and to Speck (PA Press). She has also self-published a silkscreened artist’s book, outside the lines. Her work has been exhibited in NYC at the Art Directors' Club, SVA MFA Design Gallery, Eastside Gallery and Westside Gallery, and in CT at Gallery 13 in Danbury; as well as having been featured in STEP, Print, PAPER, Communication Arts, Output, Graphic Design USA, Creative Review (UK), Graphics International (UK) and Horizont (Germany).

She's into experimental alphabets, ice machines, roadside signs and hosiery packaging; and after 12 years of tap dancing, she still does a mean time step. amy@jellyassociates.com
