About our founder
meet AMBER FRANKHUIZEN
Her LinkedIn bio says she’s “the Founder, CEO & Chief Strategist at AFMKTG,” which is true, but it’s not the whole truth. (And honestly, it’s a little boring.)
The reality is, Amber founded AFMKTG to serve an unmet need in the market, fueled by a desire to merge art with the world of real estate development. With a passion for placemaking and storytelling, Amber has led the creative direction of AFMKTG since its inception, winning awards and developing a reputation for creating edgy and elevated brands along the way.
