Amy Hartzler

Amy Hartzler heads up the Washington D.C. office for Free Range Studios, a creative communications firm that collaborates with visionary changemakers working to create a better world. She develops storytelling strategies for organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation, the Great Place to Work Institute, and Global Zero, a campaign to eliminate nuclear weapons worldwide. Amy inspires entrepreneurs and changemakers speaking at venues like Columbia University’s Social Enterprise Boot Camp, Social Venture Network, MassArt, CampaignTech, and American Institute of Graphic Artists (AIGA) events. Raised in a bipartisan, multi-faith, midwestern home, Amy moved to Washington D.C. after several years in academic publishing at Duke University Press. She prefers thoughtful questions over too-simple answers, and loves big rings, jury duty, and almost every dog she meets.
