Hi! I’m Amber, I’m a lettering artist and type designer based in the United States. In 2019 I left my career in the film business to move to LA (perhaps a strange choice for someone leaving the industry, but c’est la vie) to become an aerial instructor. Then when all the gyms shut down in 2020 I took the time to learn, learn and learn some more. I got into graphic design, and from there quickly turned to lettering and eventually type design. I’m now a work from home artist and designer, which is convenient since my partner and I are currently nomads. He still works in film and television, so we travel together with our dog to wherever he’s working on a project and then live the nomad life in between. Luckily, all I need is my iPad, computer and a little creativity and I can work from anywhere!
I’m proud to announce my new artistic direction moving forward which is lettering art based on neighborhoods in a given city. I grew up in Manhattan, KS before moving to Charleston, SC. I then bounced around between there, Wilmington, NC and Charlotte, NC while I worked in the film business before leaving that industry and moving to Los Angeles, CA. Since then, my partner and I have travelled extensively for his job including places like Boston, MA, Austin, TX, and Philadelphia, PA, even France!
We love traveling and exploring new places, and as a lettering artist, I decided to use my skills to highlight the places we’ve traveled to and enjoyed. I’m starting this new series with ready made matchbox art in select cities, but will soon be adding more. I also have plans to open a custom art option based on this style in the future for those who wish to create a personalized gift for a loved one.
I hope you enjoy my designs!
