My professional practice centers around the wellbeing of families. I work hand-in-hand with caregivers, young children, cultural producers 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, parent-child attachment, 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. I also co-founded the Designing Motherhood project and co-authored Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births.
I spent my childhood in Coconut Grove, Florida. I now live with my family in London and spend as much time as I can in my adopted home state of New York. As a mother of three, I am grateful to have a deep and personal connection to my work.
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.”
