Amber Knight is the creative manager of Indiana Electric Cooperatives and is a crucial component of the Indiana Connection team. She oversees the entire design of the magazine, including the cover, and has an unmatched eye for detail. Here’s more about her:   

As creative manager, I ensure brand consistency and design excellence at IEC and Indiana Connection. I also lead our Creative Services Program, where our team assists co-ops throughout the state with their design needs, from graphic design and logos to photography and more. I love working with the IEC team and co-op communicators to deliver beautiful work. My job never feels like work! 

Three facts about Amber:

My creative passion began in high school as a member of the newspaper staff. I earned my bachelor’s degree in communication studies from Ball State University and have been doing creative work in marketing and communication ever since. 

Since becoming a homeowner, I’ve done a ton of home improvement projects. I have painted kitchen cabinets, installed flooring, built shelving for a bookcase and even constructed a large media cabinet. I’ve learned that you can do a lot with power tools and patience.

I always have a book nearby. I enjoy getting lost in a good thriller or romantic comedy, and I love supporting indie authors. I read 58 books in 2022 and am on track to read even more this year!

Amber is brilliant, funny, diligent and all-around amazing. She brings terrific ideas, enthusiasm and inspiration to the team on a daily basis, and the magazine would not be the same without her.
