After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth, she joined her father in a startup company, DRAS Cases. There, she served as Vice President, taking on roles as lead designer, marketing and sales executive for 22 years. DRAS eventually grew into a national corporation, providing commercial casework and millwork to retail, hospitality, restaurant and healthcare facilities. Her experience as a vendor in design and sales in the commercial construction world led her to see a void in the way business was being done. She knew there had to be a better way, leading to an early concept for Mortarr.

Amy was an integral part of DRAS' success, building relationships and designing business interiors for brands recognized worldwide. Toward the end of 2015 she joined The Marketing Plant, now Brick, heading up the commercial design division which became the incubator for the Mortarr concept.
