Amber Winick's professional practice centers around design, birth, and child development. She is committed to cultivating slower, more conscious communities of care. Amber works hand-in-hand with parents, young children and designers alike to facilitate ease, confidence and a greater sense of purpose and pleasure.

She co-authored Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births, and is co-curator of the exhibition series.

As an undergraduate at Sarah Lawrence College, she studied child development and cultural anthropology. At the Bard Graduate Center, she earned a Master’s in design history and material culture.

Amber has trained in advance dance/movement psychotherapy for children and caregivers with Dr. Suzi Tortora, RIE®, the Anna Freud Center, Sarah Lawrence College’s Early Childhood Center and she has done extensive research into the life and work of Emmi Pikler and Lóczy, all of which inform the way she works.

She also has three children of her own and is grateful to have a deep and personal connection to her work.
