About Amy Brown

You may have never seen me, but maybe you've seen one of my creations. My fruit and veggie pillows have been featured on TV Sprite's commercials with Vince Staples, graced the hallowed squares of Jenny Slate's instagram, co-starred in a VEEP episode with Tony Hale, and Parker Posey once gushed about my giant carrot body pillow Jimmy Fallon. It's a weird life and I love it.When I'm not sewing, I love to document my gardening and nature interests through projects like the Ryland Museum (an early-pandemic virtual children's museum) and iNaturalist. I am a certified California Naturalist and am always learning. Do I always know what tree that is you're pointing at? No, but I'm gonna find out!During my time making plush and props for Jumbo Jibbles, I've learned how to design websites, books, ad campaigns and video. My volunteer work in social media for The Alameda Artworks helped to make their artist studios more well-known in the South Bay and led to inclusion in two San Jose Walls mural festivals and the site for a Content Magazine Pickup Party. I helped veteran artists create an internet footprint for themselves and learn the concepts of branding in the 21st century.I would like to increase my network of contacts in the agriculture and food industries, to make props and promotional items customized for their needs. My custom work has toured across the US with Morningstar Farms' #WaytoVeg tour, and I've made several large fabric props for Plum Organics, Clorox Digital Labs, Instacart, Sprite and Chefables. I can design and make custom plush representations of just about anything. My sewing skills are only dwarfed by my inability to say I can't do a project. Oh yes, I can.Let me take what's in your head and make it into something you can hold. I will consult, draw sketches, design fabric prints or help you source materials. I have connections at several small cut and sew shops and manufacturers in the US. Let's do this!

  • Jumbo Jibbles
    Owner And Designer
    Jumbo Jibbles Sep 2012 - Present
    San Jose, Ca
    For the past eight years Jumbo Jibbles has been the brand name of my fruit and vegetable pillow empire, but now it is the container for my design portfolio. I have worked with big brands like Sprite, Instacart and Facebook but smaller commissions always interest me (especially if there's a good story behind needing a giant tomato with arms). Let me help you bring your idea to life in fabric. I am best at 3D designs, but can also create repeating patterns for fabric prints and consult on costuming design and construction.Jumbo Jibbles is no longer just a plush fruit and vegetable shop-- I am excited about making anything in fabric. Past commissions have included body parts, clouds, cupcakes, anime characters and prosthetic animal butts. If you think your idea is too weird, I already want to work with you,

    Interest-Led Arts & Crafts Instruction

    I teach private lessons in sewing and general arts and crafts. Think of me as an artsy Mary Poppins-- I come to your home with all the needed supplies, lead children through specially tailored craft projects and clean it all up.

  • Dezignkidz
    Plush Toy Design Teacher
    Dezignkidz Jun 2014 - Jul 2015
    Mountain View, Ca
    Plush Toy Design takes campers aged 7-13 from designing a toy on paper to a finished product. My class focused on making strange creatures never before seen-- a "Flying Ear Horse", a living popsicle (with full wardrobe and makeup kit), or a 5-eyed blue cat! Campers learned basic hand-sewing stitches, embroidery and embellishment techniques, as well as machine-sewing. I make sure any students leave with a finished toy and skills to continue further on their own.It was a pleasure to work with DezignKidz and be a new part of their sewing camp.

    San Jose Museum Of Quilts And Textiles Mar 2013 - Jun 2013
    San Jose, Ca
    I created projects for and maintain the Community Gallery at the Textiles Museum, giving patrons direction and a space to exhibit their works. Each month required a craft suited to a broad audience and instructions and materials for patrons to do solo work in our Community Craft area. Patrons entering the museum first lay eyes on the Community Gallery, and have the opportunity to do the craft and contribute their work. The Gallery is changed monthly, and a new craft takes its place at the beginning of each month. This area is open to all ages, and encourages all patrons to learn a new skill, or brush up an on old one.
