ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Amber Washington is the founder and creative force behind Freebird of CA. A graduate of the Academy of Art University and product designer by trade, Amber started Freebird on a lark to create delightful and fresh personal leather goods that fit her budget and express creativity in her off-hours. It’s a work of passion- illustrating, reading, studying techniques, finding influences on the streets of Oakland and experimenting with methods, materials, machines, and tools.
