ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

And...a few more pics to give you a glimpse of who I am...

AMY L NASH, FOUNDER + CREATIVE

Amy L Nash is a designer/creative solution architect, entrepreneur, sustainability professional, and community developer/engagement specialist.  She has degrees in architecture, environmental design, interior design and emphasis in business, construction management, and art.  Amy is only her dissertation away from her Ph.D. in Sustainable Planning (NRM).  She uses her extensive strategic planning and project management knowledge and experience in organizational development of businesses, non-profits, and hybrid connectivity.  She is the Founder and Lead Creative at Lioness Creative, LLC and has a design-oriented business.  In all of her work, she emphasizes corporate social responsibility and economic/community development impact building.  Amy is passionate about strength-building and creative processes as she has a blend of design-thinking and entrepreneurial thinking in all the work she does.  She also uses these skills in teaching and development of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) with youth.  She also has done extensive teaching at a university level and engaged in numerous leadership roles at the local and state levels.  She loves to empower people in their strengths and helping them to make their dreams a reality.  She lives in Fargo in a lovely 1950's home with her life partner and life CEO (Chief Encouragement Officer), Benjamin, and her two energetic pitbull-labs, Clementine and Clover.  She cooks, gardens, runs two to three 5k's a month, LOVES AVIATION & FLYING, and her blue eyes are REAL...her natural color.

Here's "FIVE Facts" to know: 

• Amy makes the bed EVERY morning as a part of the day starting.  "I haven't always done that...but I always wanted to be that person...so for the last year and a half...That's me and I love that routine."  FYI:  Amy also does the dishes every day + blends a protein shake every morning...this is the trifecta of EVERY day routine.
  
• Amy gets up at 4am...yes, that is right, 4am.  "Sometimes it is even earlier than that, but I have learned to listen to my internal clock a bit and roll with it.  My mornings are wildly creative and productive this way and as long as I get some rest, I just get going.  I start with  a really good pen and my old-school planner that I made (because I had to adapt pages for my early mornings. "  FYI:  Yes, she did make her own planner so that it is useful to her
  
• Amy 's wardrobe is a nod to Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Nancy Sinatra...AND SWEATS.  So that means black dresses, heels and curves, BOOTS, and leggings/sweatshirts/pajama pants.  "At one time, I owned 34 black dresses and was going to make that my signature clothing...and black leggings /black casual wear.  I just liked the simplicity.  It is still by go-to because this short girl looks tall in that...but now I have some pops of color.  I really love the heels and I'm kind of known for boots...especially tall black boots.  FYI:  " I have a pair of thigh-high metallic boots and need an event to go to to wear them. "
• Amy is the "Doer of Things"...this is a real title...well, an invented real-title that rings true now as a serial entrepreneur.  "I worked for an organization that was truly all over the place which is not uncommon in start-up nonprofits and businesses.  You simply wear many hats.  I was always the calm one in which everything landed on my desk and in my office...and to my phone and email.  How do you sum that up...well...'Doer of Things' was it because "Unicorn King was already taken by a friend of mine from college.  AND, I have heard that this title has stuck and people keep using it, so at least I know it is a witty and fun way to describe the whirlwind that I just roll with."  FYI:  Chief Cat Herder is also taken and is a real person as well.
• Amy self identifies as "AWKWARD AF" and embraces this.  What started as a little inside joke between Benjamin and Amy has now been a little trait she shares out and about.  The theory is that Amy will do 3 clumsy things a day simply by being Amy from a slip on the ice to a spill...yep...it happens.  It is now an endearing quality that again...she just rolls with (and laughs about).  FYI:  Her laugh has been compared to "Betty Rubble" of  the Flintstones.
