Lauren requested logo design by Amy J. directly at Amy J Garbutt Designs
Amy is a true professional and so easy and awesome to work with! She transformed this vague idea I provided for a logo into something absolutely professional and beyond my expectations. Amy was completely transparent about the entire process, as we had some changes due to my companies marketing managers, and she made the process seamless. Amy provided various formats of the logo for ease of use across the digital platforms, and a branding chart, so I can keep all my marketing colors the same. She thought of all this, I did not ask, which is unbelievably convenient, and thoughtful. Amy is very creative, professional, and is honesty a pleasure to work with. I look forward to utilizing Amy’s creative genius on projects in the future!

Jess managed Amy J. directly at LAGOS
I hired Amy to work with LAGOS, a luxury retail jewelry brand, as a freelancer to help out while our department was understaffed for a couple months. Capable, agile and quick, Amy was able to not only hit the ground running with multiple in progress projects, she did so with a positive attitude and infectious energy. She seamlessly integrated herself into our team and workflow, learning quickly and asking the right questions when she needed clarification. She also went above and beyond her many day-to-day tasks, and offered suggestions and inspiration for future projects, purely out of interest in the brand and its creative best interests. She really impressed me and the team, and we hope to involve her in future design and/or marketing projects.

Jewelry Designer/CAD Designer
Joanna J. managed Amy J. directly World End Imports
Amy is a capable, talented and reliable worker. She brings a dynamic background, solid experience and above all a GREAT ATTITUDE to the work environment. She is all at once “worker bee”, a colleague AND a leader. I can recall numerous times during high stress situations when I knew that I could throw multiple tasks, problems, and deadlines at Amy with the full confidence that she could handle, prioritize and and stay on deadline for them all (and with a quality result)! Amy not only met my expectations but consistently exceeded them. Amy is a creative thinker but is also a problem solver. She can think “outside of the box” but also knows when to roll her sleeves up and get it done. I know that I made the right decision after interviewing her by creating a position just for her. She proved herself to be an invaluable asset to the company and if I had the privilege of hiring her again I would do so without hesitation.

Senior Director: Innovation & Customer Value Proposition | Experience Design
Phillip was Amy J.’s teacher at Moore College of Art and Design
Amy is a self-motivated, ambitious and meticulous designer who has a unique ability to conceptualize her designs in analogue with pen and paper before execution. This level of commitment to planning and idea incubation means that Amy is unafraid to explore innovative avenues to problem solve any design issue, be it through digital or traditional media. She has an acute ability to adapt aesthetics according to the copy and messaging—whether she is provided the information or creates it herself. That means Amy is able to adapt and expand her visual expression accordingly, ensuring that the message is indeed the medium, enabling a focus on the solution rather than just the visual appeal of a project. Amy is at once relatable and reliable, encompassing all the qualities needed in one who must not only make decisions, but also fulfill them. Her intelligence, creativity, and tremendous work ethic means that Amy is a necessary asset to any creative endeavor.

Assistant Professor/Program Coordinator - The Sage Colleges - Sage College of Albany
Lynn was Amy J.’s teacher
Amy is creative, intelligent, and most of all a passionate designer. Her ability to inspire and support her peers was one of her strongest traits. As her instructor I must say that Amy was always willing to listen, take criticism, and use information to produce strong projects. She is a team player who, though her ability to quickly understand a problem will ultimately find a solution, assist a team, and work hard to meet any goal placed before her. I recommend Amy highly knowing that anyone who has the opportunity to work with her as I did will feel as strongly as I do in all her abilities.
