This Thursday’s Community Breakfast brought a vibrant splash of creativity to Republikken, thanks to the endlessly inspiring Amy Young.
Originally from San Francisco—and now happily settled in Copenhagen (again). Amy is a freelance graphic designer with a talent for transforming spaces and building brands that truly connect. From murals in zero-waste grocery stores to brand identities for wellness studios. She brings a distinctive, thoughtful touch to every project. See some of her work here at www.amydesign.co.
Design With Heart (and Colour!)
Amy’s work doesn’t just look good—it feels right. Her signature style blends bold color palettes with a mix of organic and geometric forms. This creating visuals that are both playful and intentional.
With a background in environmental graphic design, she has a unique gift for bringing walls to life—murals, signage, wayfinding, and art installations that become an integral part of the space. In San Francisco, she worked alongside architects and interior designers to create stunning office environments for tech companies. Now, she’s applying that same expertise to mission-driven brands both locally and internationally.
And yes—sometimes she even paints the murals herself.
New Beginnings, Bright Future
Amy’s return to Copenhagen wasn’t just a career move—it was a big life change. After meeting her Danish partner in San Francisco, she made the leap back across the Atlantic to start a new chapter.
Now, she’s balancing client work with a crash course in Danish bureaucracy, adjusting to a new creative landscape—and preparing for her next exciting role: becoming a parent. With a baby on the way, she’s embracing all the beautiful chaos that comes with new beginnings.
Despite the change in pace (and climate), Amy brings the same spark she’s always had. Her energy lit up the room this morning, and her story struck a chord with anyone who’s ever made a leap into the unknown.
Amy is a wonderful addition to the Republikken community—curious, creative, and completely real. Remember to say hi, when you see her.
