About

Amy Crow is a Multi-Disciplinary Creative, Educator, and Speaker based in Brisbane.

Over the past fourteen years, Amy has built a diverse career spanning multiple industries. She began in makeup before completing a full hairdressing apprenticeship with the globally renowned Toni&Guy. During this time, she also released two EPs as a solo folk musician.

After finalizing her apprenticeship, she launched her own mobile salon, which she successfully ran for five years. A conversation with a client introduced her to the world of graphic design, leading her to complete an Advanced Diploma in Visual Communications. She further expanded her skill set by studying UX Design at General Assembly and later founded the apparel line FUTURE=FEMALE in 2017. From 2018 to 2019, she curated themed pop-up shops, showcasing both her brand and a selection of local and interstate makers.

In 2018, she launched YUNG MUNNY, a resource platform designed to support emerging creatives with practical business advice and community-building initiatives. She later rebranded her salon as LOST SALON, placing it within her full retail concept store, FORGE FORWARD, which operated as a dynamic, ever-evolving space for brands, makers, and creative concepts.

Beyond her businesses, Amy is passionate about education and mentorship. She is an experienced tutor, guiding students in design, branding, and creative strategy. She is also a speaker, sharing insights on self-awareness, creative entrepreneurship, and navigating the industry as an independent artist.

Always evolving, Amy continues to merge creativity, education, and community, empowering the next generation of designers and entrepreneurs.
