About Amy Weiher
Amy Weiher didn’t plan to be a business owner. She just knew she was done working for someone else. Twenty years later, she’s still going strong and has built something she’s proud of—through hard work, smart choices, and the hard-won lessons that only come from actually doing it. She is the founder and creative director of Weiher Creative, a graphic design studio with 20+ years of experience helping nonprofits, educational organizations, and mission-driven businesses communicate their work beautifully. Clients describe her as reliable, calm under pressure, and easy to work with—the kind of partner who never lets you see her sweat, even when you’ve asked for a miracle.
Amy specializes in working with organizations that are doing good in the world: nonprofits, schools, and mission-driven businesses that need a trusted creative partner, not just a vendor. Over two decades, she has built long-term relationships with clients including UC Berkeley, the American Bar Foundation, and the Public Health Alliance of Southern California—organizations that keep coming back because Amy treats their work like it matters, because it does.
She is also the author of Good Work! Practical Advice for Starting & Scaling Your Creative Freelance Business, a practical, no-BS guide for creative professionals who want to build a sustainable freelance career. Amy writes and speaks from the trenches: she’s survived a recession, a pandemic, and more than a few impossible client deadlines, and she’s distilled 20+ years of hard-won lessons into advice that’s equal parts honest and actionable.
Outside of work, Amy is a mom, a wife, a PTA president, an active school volunteer, avid pickleball player, and a dedicated pet wrangler—which means she knows a thing or two about juggling competing priorities without losing her mind (or her sense of humor). She believes that doing good work for good people is both a business strategy and a way of life, and that none of it is possible without a lot of coffee.
