Taking care of business
Amy Helin
The best thing to come out of Kansas since Dorothy and her little dog,
Amy Helin prides herself on taking care of business -- in her recent career
as a freelance consultant, that means everything from concepting ideas to designing logos,
to building websites, to creating entire advertising and marketing campaigns.
She has worked at many major magazines, both print and digital editions,
including US Weekly, Seventeen, Budget Travel, New York, and San Francisco.
Highlights including shooting the Real World House for Seventeen,
margarita madness during closings at New York magazine,
being a general excellence finalist at the National Magazine Awards for Budget Travel,
and mistaking actor Jon Voight for a former colleague while walking
down the street in New York City. He graciously pretended to know her,
even after she asked how he and his family were doing.
In her free time -- who are we kidding? With three kids, she has no free time.
But they do provide a handy excuse for rereading the Harry Potter books.
