Amber aka adubois is part of the hard-working and ever-growing Support Team and is known for the fire in her belly when it comes to busting resellers and other evil-doers on the site. Amber also shows compassion for those who may have simply misunderstood Etsy's selling policy.

Amber Fun Facts:
  • Suffers from a textbook case of Koumpounophobia — which is a severe fear of buttons.
  • Her father is known as a hairdresser to the stars (which may have something to do with why she pulls-off such a great pompadour). 
  • Has a healthy obsession with the Cult Classic: Manos: Hands of Fate and MST3K and is even a card carrying member of the Fan Club.





Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We've been posting a series of About Us pieces to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page).

Hi guys! Thanks for the kind words! (... Dave Poulin? WOW! What a small world!)

Jared- if you are in Brooklyn anywhere in the near future- you get first dibs on the sweater.

OMG I can't believe there is actually a name for the fear of buttons - I completely have that - how hilarious! Now hopefully my friends won't make fun of me any more. You ROCK Amber (from a fellow button hater)

...no need to be ashamed, nameframes. I see a lot of stray buttons at Etsy...too many...
