Amy Kotler Heifitz is a native of Evanston, Illinois. As a young girl, she travelled the world with her father, a renowned professor and international business consultant. Her world growing up was constantly filled with different cultures, and with new images, colors and designs. After graduating from the University of Illinois-Champaign, she received an MBA from Northwestern University Kellogg Graduate School of Management. Fifteen years ago, she decided to leave her business career behind and follow her passion to a career in commercial design.
