Boulder Startup Week 2025

Amy has studied creation, mapping and narrative arcs of experience design with her mentors, Odyssey Works, a theater company that specializes in productions for an audience of one. She worked as an artist fellow for the Odyssey Works Master Class in Portugal in June 2022, and graduated from the yearlong Odyssey Works’ Experience Design Certificate Program in 2022.

She has attended and participated in Immersive Design Week 2020 in San Francisco and has written for No Proscenium, the most well known website for immersive art, theater and experiences in the US.

Her professional immersive work often consists of small-scale, intimate and consent-aware encounters—she prefers working 1-1 or with couples to help guide them through transitions with play, mystery and intention. Public productions have included Revere: Nights, an immersive event that weaved together reclaiming the cultural narratives of the strip club and remembering ancestral practices through embodying and accepting our sexuality. Five sold-out events ran between 2016-2018 in Boulder, Colorado, (re)merging the Dirty and the Divine through facilitation, dance, movement and connection. The final event included an immersive cocktail journey.

Amy has led workshops for Boulder Startup Week since 2016. She was the organizer for the Solopreneur track in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Workshops she has led have included:

• Remote Relating Cocktail Hour: Using Experience Design to Reconnect in Uncertain Times (2020)
• The Art of the Abductive: How to Design Unique Experiences for High-Value Relationships (2019)
• The Power of Immersivity: Learn How to Design for Discovery & Depth (2019)
• The Future of Solopreneur Work (Panel) (2018)
• Conscious Communication with Clients and Business Partners (2017)

Amy has spoken worldwide at conferences and summits such as the Women in Travel Summit, The Freelance Conference and IndieCon. She has been featured on numerous podcasts such as Entrepreneur On Fire, and has given an Ignite talk on narcissistic invisible abuse to a sold-out audience of 1,100 people.
Amy gave a TEDx talk on experience design as a tool to amplify meaning and connection in our personal relationships at TEDxColoradoSprings in May 2019. It is now accessible on the main site of TED.com.
