“I enjoy fostering new ideas from team members and colleagues and witnessing their growth. Equally, I love knowing that we’re contributing towards the safety of memories, artwork, history and more.”

Amy Hammond joined EverPresent in October 2016 and currently serves as Senior Director. For five years, she directed EverPresent’s Photo Department, leading a team that digitized over 15 million photographs, slides, negatives, and albums. She developed and refined workflows now used company-wide, oversaw the building of multiple digitizing stations, and guided the completion of thousands of high-value projects — from century-old glass plate negatives to fragile photo albums bound with thread. As a result, Amy remains the senior leadership team’s foremost expert on photo digitizing processes, photo media handling, and quality standards.

Amy’s expertise is grounded in her BFA in Photography from Lesley University College of Art & Design (formerly known as the Art Institute of Boston), where she trained extensively in both analog and digital image-making. This formal education, combined with years of practical leadership, has positioned her as the go-to authority for solving the most challenging preservation and digitization problems.

Before EverPresent, Amy served as Assistant Manager at Ten Thousand Villages, where she educated customers about the cultural stories behind handmade goods and the principles of fair trade, while managing daily operations and mentoring staff. She also worked in real estate photography, capturing the essence of properties on the brink of becoming cherished homes.
Outside of work, Amy can be found solving jigsaw puzzles, reading fantasy and mystery novels, hiking, practicing yoga, and enjoying live music.
