Amber Winick is a writer, a design historian and educator. Her work centers on design and how it intersects with our bodies, our relationships, and the psychology of caregiving. She is especially interested in how these topics relate to placemaking, power, the history of education, medicine, and technology, motherhood, and child development.

Amber is the co-creator and co-author of the award-winning Designing Motherhood book and project.

Amber holds a BA from Sarah Lawrence College, and an Master’s in design history from the Bard Graduate Center.
