About Amy Linn

With over 25 years of experience in packaging and branding design, I help clients capture their dreams and turn them into brands that people love. I am the owner of Linn Design Studio, a creative agency located in the heart of downtown Napa, California, that specializes in the wine industry.I have a keen eye for detail and a vision for the big picture, enabling me to bring all the elements together that tell a compelling story. I specialize in packaging and also offer a range of services, including naming, logo design, collateral design, website design, and environmental design. I approach every project as your creative partner with an understanding of desired outcomes, your ideal customer, current trends and most importantly, you.I also believe in giving back to my community and have been an active volunteer for various causes and events, such as Napa Porchfest, a free one-day musical festival that showcases local talent and historic neighborhoods.As one of the event coordinators, I\'ve worn many hats. In addition to helping to make key decisions for the event, I\'ve developed all the creative touch points including: logo, brand voice, website, social media, event merchandise, signage, and interactive and print maps. I am passionate about design and always eager to learn new skills and explore new challenges. I graduated from California State University, Chico, with a BA in Communication Design, and I continue to hone my craft and stay updated on the latest trends and technologies. My goal is to create top shelf brands that reflect the essence and values of my clients and their products.
