As the past president of AIGA Jacksonville, Amber fosters growth in the design community, mentoring young designers and bringing together the creative community through events and workshops. Amber leads the design team at Tuft & Needle where she's helping to streamline the e-commerce platform and refine admin tools, making sure the customer experience stays paramount even at $300M in annual revenue and counting.
