Meet the Team

  • Carson Amiot

    OWNER

    I am dedicated to helping school administrators support their districts' mission, vision, and values. I focus on connecting everyday services and products to recognize school milestones and celebrate educational moments that truly matter. Whether it is through yearbooks or graduation accessories, I connect with the culture of the student body, the branding of the school, and the significance of these events. When my team and I execute our work flawlessly, we amplify students' accomplishments and provide them with meaningful artifacts that celebrate their achievements. Central to my commitment to schools is a focus on bundled services and delivering exceptional value. Our work can be seen throughout school districts in the greater Minneapolis and St. Paul Metro areas. 

    I am a strong advocate for female empowerment in sports. This can be seen through my active support of the Athena Awards, an organization which uplifts the achievements of female athletes and recognizes their contributions to school and community. By honoring these remarkable individuals, I help foster an environment that celebrates excellence and inspires future generations of young women.  Outside of work, I cherish spending time and traveling with my family. When not with them, you can find me enjoying time on the golf course.

  • Ashley Nelson

    SENIOR ACCOUNT MANAGER

    I developed a strong foundation in teaching and learning at Saint Cloud State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education. My passion for education continues to thrive in my current role, where I support yearbook advisers and their teams. I am dedicated to ensuring that you feel organized and prepared as the school year begins.  With a commitment to quick-response assistance, I am here to answer your questions, lead engaging training sessions, and offer valuable insights to help you create the yearbook of your dreams. My goal is to make the process enjoyable and rewarding for everyone involved. Help is always just a text, email, or phone call away, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!

    ​I reside locally in White Bear Lake with my husband and our two cats. In my free time, I love to explore the world through travel and find balance through yoga. I look forward to collaborating with you and making this yearbook a memorable project for all.

  • Tug Newett

    GRAPHIC DESIGNER

    An accomplished Creative Director with over 20 years of experience in the publishing industry, I possess a diverse skill set that includes design, advertising, and proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite. Graduating from the Kansas City Art Institute with a focus on Painting and Design, I am passionate about creating compelling visual narratives that resonate with audiences. In my role as a Graphic Designer at Amiots, I guide yearbook staffers by turning their ideas into reality, designing and creating yearbook covers, endsheets, and other artistic components. Additionally, I design banners and canvases that enhance the school environment, fostering community and school spirit.

    ​Residing in Santa Cruz, California, I own Gutdesigns, a design and branding company recognized for its distinctly creative approach. I am also a partner at Woodhouse Blending and Brewing. I thrive on collaboration and am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of creativity in every endeavor.
