Amy Reingold loved sewing as a child. She grew up in the midwest and received a BFA in textile design. After college she attended the Cordon Bleu School of Cookery, earning a Diploma Degree. From there her textile interests were put on the back burner while she pursued a career as a chef. Amy was lucky to have worked in several of the finest restaurants in the world and to have toured much of the far east for menu development.

After marriage Amy happily gave up cooking as a career and started working on her interest in textile art again. Now, with two half grown children, Amy is designing coats for Grayson Preihs and fully engaged once again in the beauty of fabric.
