Amy Rhoads
Visual Designer
Amy Rhoads is a true hybrid. She has over 15 years of branding and marketing experience with some of the most respected companies in Silicon Valley. But Amy is also an experienced designer who can jump from Photoshop to Illustrator to InDesign without skipping a beat.
Amy began her career in high tech public relations where she learned the fundamentals of branding and positioning with clients such as Palm Computing, Siemens Rolm and Fujitsu. In 1997, Amy joined Intel as a Web site developer and marketing manager. She received assignments that sent her around the world, including extended stays in Hong Kong and Munich, Germany. She drove marketing and communications for the world's largest co-branding program, Intel Inside.
After seven years at Intel, Amy decided to pursue her passion for visual design. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and now works at Larsen Design in Menlo Park, California.
