If you follow my instagram account @amandarosezamp, and followed my weekend at CHA 2015, then you've probably read this short story. It went something like this:
"Walked to her booth. Got shy. Managed to say hello. Posed for pic. Told her she's my inspiration. Thanked her for her sweet email she wrote me a while back right when I needed it. She told me she bought my paper line: "the one with the pineapples." My heart did a cartwheel. Then Jack Archibald gave me a pound 👊 and a kiss 😘. That's the story of how I met Amy Tangerine."
I hope to one day be on her level. I hope to design line after line and products and more products for a company/companies in this industry until my fingers can't craft anymore! I want to do what this lady does, and because of the inspiration she has been to me, I've gotten farther this past year than I ever thought I would pursing design as a career.
Amy, you motivate me to keep going. You motivate me to trust in my creativity and believe in what I have to offer. Thank you for paving the way. Thank you for sharing your journey, as it helps me along my journey. Thank you to the moon for your kind words and spirit. You're a class act, Miss Amy Tangerine, and I only hope to pay it forward. ♥
