Make Art That Sells - Home Decor

Amber Goodvin April 12, 2014

Here is my succulent plate set that I designed for class.

H E L L O !

I'm Amber.

I work at Hallmark in the lettering + illustration studio, where I have been lucky enough to learn from a team of uniquely talented people for the last nine years. Many call Hallmark the "corporate grad school" for artists and that has been true to my experience. I love what Hallmark is all about and I love my job.

My family and I recently moved to Lawrence, KS so my husband could pursue his MFA in creative writing. We both did our undergrad here, and returning to Lawrence has made us feel young again (school spirit, drinking acceptable at any time of day, mass st.) - and simultaneously really really old. (sir, it's 10pm- kindly put a shirt on, get off your roof and turn that music down!)

I teach handlettering to design students at KU Tuesday nights and have been learning a lot from them too. I do a little freelance, and love cooking and being a mom to Walt (and my non-human children, Wilbur + Violet).

most favorite things: coffee. sitting on our back porch with jason. kids books. card games. harry potter. npr. happy hour. god. salsa. doing work i am excited about.

most un-favorite things: ankle socks. being early. a situation in which someone is watching/coaching me to work out. folding laundry. sports radio. all sports, actually.
