Amy Flurry

To say Amy Flurry has had a storied carrier is to put it lightly. The former editor, recognized for her discerning point of view, authored Recipe for Press, a book in which she shares editorial insights with creative entrepreneurs, co-founded the Paper-Cut-Project and, most recently, has taken over the world of interiors, speaking nationally on the subject. Never without her plain black notebook and pen to capture thoughts and ideas, the Athens, Georgia resident and world traveler is on a consummate hunt for her next source of inspiration.

Among Amy’s most impressive feats (a subject which doesn’t even make her bio)? She’s taken on over 20 interns in the last decade alone, stewarding their careers, teaching them the importance of effective communication and, in essence, imparting on them the benefit of a mentor/mentee relationship. I’m lucky enough to call Amy Flurry one of the inspirations behind Born on Fifth.
