From My Clients
I presented the wines to some distributors in Upstate NY and they bought it all. How’s that?!
Amy is a talented graphic designer with strong visual instincts and experience in a wide range of projects. Amy’s skills go beyond visual design elements, however. Her ability to understand how a project fits into broader goals allows her to create materials that are beautiful and also truly work for the client.
Rebranding our company was an unattained goal for years. Amy simplified this overwhelming process; provided multiple creative and original options; and facilitated a complete brand overhaul. From Campus Signage and Color Selection to Business Cards and Stationary, Amy led us through the design process and delivered a distinctive and memorable new brand. Thank you, Amy!
Oh my gosh, Amy creates the most elegant graphics. Her ability to translate a concept into a graphic reality is amazing. I would highly recommend her for any type of creative work; branding, logo development, web design, you name it!
Amy is an exceptional and creative graphic designer. She deftly and beautifully responded to all of my many changes in direction while creating a logo and brand identity for my business.
Linn Design Studio has created the logo for my dream business. Amy Linn was able to transcend who I am and my vision of my dream and created a logo that surpassed all expectations!
We are DELIGHTED with our new updated logo by Linn Design Studio! Amy Linn exudes confidence and professionalism. As an architectural designer with an eye for detail, I found that Linn Design Studio “hit it on the mark” for the style for which our firm was looking. Linn Design Studio provided our branding on time and on budget.
Amy Linn | Graphic Designer
All the little details.
Amy has always been a stickler for detail and has an unfading flair for style and design.
I'm inspired by architecture, the written word and letter forms. Papers, fabrics, and color influence everything I do. Music, whether old or new, sets the mood when I'm designing and motivates me. I enjoy good foods, appreciate different cultures and believe that exploring and learning something new is key.
In regards to my work, I love a challenge and happiness is solving a problem with good design AND having a happy client.
History.
I graduated from California State University, Chico with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Design with an emphasis in Graphic Design.
Before graduation, I began an internship at Colonna Farrell Design, which is now known as CF NAPA. I designed my first wine label that summer and truly fell in love with wine country and all it has to offer.
After graduating, I was hired full time at Colonna Farrell Design and continued to design wine labels, cartons, bottle shapes, capsules, corks, collateral materials and more for global wine names such as Beringer, Domaine Chandon, Nobilo, New Zealand, Marwood, Italy, King Estate, Kenwood, Bacio Divino, Edmeades, Jarvis, Pezzi King, Elliott, Fife, Napa Valley Mustard, Lockwood, Lorane Valley, Hamilton Estate, Raymond, Rustridge, Wine World Estates, Jordan Vineyards, Chappellet, Gloria Ferrer and more.
Linn Design Studio.
Since opening Linn Design Studio in 1997, I've enjoyed helping businesses build strong brands through identity development, naming, logo design, wine label design, website design and collateral design. Check out my graphic design portfolio, packaging portfolio, logo portfolio and design case studies.
I GET the big picture and love working with my clients to help them refine their message and build upon it.
