Background

About Amy Slaughter

Through Aims Moon Paperie, I have had the opportunity to channel my creativity into a business that merges intentional illustration art with practical, everyday stationery. The work I create for Aims Moon Paperie is deeply influenced by my love for fashion and interior design. My illustrations are colorful, stylized, and imbued with a light-hearted spirit, making them not just visually appealing but also meaningful. I believe that art should be accessible and reflective of diverse experiences, which is why representation plays a critical role in my designs. Whether I’m designing a piece for a stationery set or crafting a larger artwork, I am always mindful of how to connect with my community. My philosophy is that every element in a piece has a purpose, and when combined thoughtfully, they can resonate powerfully with the audience. Beyond my experience as a small business owner, my journey in the world of grants has been shaped by my dual roles as both a grant reviewer and a grant recipient, providing me with a well-rounded perspective. These experiences have honed my skills in various areas—most notably, my keen eye for detail and my strong analytical mindset. I gained a deep appreciation for the transformative power of grants. In all my endeavors, whether in the grants-making field or in my artistic practice, I strive to make a positive impact. My work is driven by a desire to uplift others, whether by helping them secure funding for their projects or by creating art that brings joy and inspiration. Everyday is a continuous journey of learning and growth, where every experience contributes to my ability to engage and empower the communities I am a part of.
