Amy Auman

Amy Auman is a multimedia designer and educator whose industry experience ranges from book design to UI/UX, video editing, and motion design.

Her diverse design background has led her toward experiential and time-based territories. She finds inspiration in using various tools and technologies to transform the mundane to the uncanny. Through immersive installations, compositions, and audio and video, her work explores typographic play, the ambiguous terrain between digital and physical spaces, and the potential for design to amplify environmental awareness.
