My professional practice centers around the wellbeing of families. I work hand-in-hand with parents, young children, cultural producers, caregivers, and designers to facilitate ease, confidence, and a greater sense of purpose and pleasure.
Through my writing, design scholarship, advocacy, and SnailHaus groups, I am committed to cultivating slower, more conscious communities of care.
My background spans child development, design history, material culture, attachment science, RIE®️, early childhood education, and dance movement psychotherapy.
In 2022, I completed a Fulbright Fellowship centered on the life and work of Dr. Emmi Pikler and Lóczy. Together with an independent team, I also conceived of and built Designing Motherhood, taking it from a pokey little personal project to an award-winning book, design curriculum, and internationally touring exhibition that has pioneered a new era of design scholarship and activism.
In 2025, I created SnailHaus, a monthly newsletter that invites readers to reflect on the ways we bring intention, connection, and care to our homes, cities, and other designed environments that we share with children.
I live mostly in London and a little in New York's Hudson Valley with my family.
Designing Motherhood
Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births is a book by Amber Winick and Michelle Millar Fisher (MIT Press/Penguin Random House, 2021). Designing Motherhood is also a public programming series and an internationally touring exhibition, which will be coming to its eighth and ninth venues in the US and Europe in 2027.
“Designing Motherhood makes the case that there is a whole world of objects pertaining to women, mothers and pregnant people that have been overlooked from the perspective of form and function, and unstudied in terms of how their designs came to be.”
