Amy Drill

Senior Communications Officer (aka Art Director)

Years at L&C: 17

My Job: I have the pleasure of collaborating with my talented colleagues in PubCom to help staff (and sometimes faculty) across all three schools develop materials that (primarily) help recruit students and raise money. I focus on the design aspects of the projects. Most of the things I work on are realized in print publications, but I also art direct for other media. I also coordinate and art direct photography and manage logo usage for the institution.

Diversions: Reading, gardening, knitting, playing cards, photography, sewing, Fimo projects, experimenting with painting and printmaking, travel (next dream vacation is Paris and London), watching movies (especially romantic comedies with happy endings), going to Afternoon Tea.

Passion: My family—husband Darin and daughter Faith—our parents, siblings, cousins, etc. … they are our social life and we love it.

Current audiobook: “The Dressmaker” by Kate Alcott. Enjoying the story, but the narrator has a really weird style - half whisper all the time and a strange lilt at the end of every sentence.

Current analogbook: “Angels Flight” by Michael Connelly.
