Amy Smith

Amy Smith has been an entrepreneur since childhood. If there was an opportunity to be creative and make a little cabbage in the process – she was on it! Her Mother encouraged the development of backyard carnivals, neighborhood bake sales, and custom doll clothes to market. It became evident that producing and selling goods or services was a natural priority. Her Mother also instilled the art of antique hunting in Amy – tag sales and flea markets were frequented over the years gathering treasures for sewing projects or collages.

Reeling the clock forward a few years and after owning a high-tech marketing agency for almost a decade, she has returned to her love of vintage graphics and print. In 2006, at an outdoor antique fair during a vacation in New England, Amy was sifting through a basket of vintage children's books when she discovered something special — a turn-of-the-century, torn, tattered and extremely well-loved copy of the Original Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Honed by years of marketing and branding expertise, Amy's creative instincts kicked in. By the end of the trip, she had the vision for a new line of greeting cards, invitations, and coordinating gift wrap. Goosey Press was born and is for everyone who cherishes the nostalgic simplicity of the Mother Goose rhymes.

Amy lives in Portland, Oregon with her two stepsons, husband and – her beloved Airedale terrier - Hattie.
