About US

Eyes Open is a conscious creative studio with a focus on strategic communications, campaigns and web design.

We operate as a team of two with a network of artists and creatives, builders and developers, writers and strategists.

Over recent years, we’ve had the privilege of building more than 80 websites for a range of entrepreneurs, conscious businesses, public speakers and activists. We take a full-spectrum approach, moving from concept to brand identity to completed site.

For us, a website is a window into a world, an idea or a future vision. We treat every project as the opportunity to discover and build that world, together.

When we’re not building websites we’re playing music, growing vegetables and hanging out in nature, and making art that can connect us all more deeply around the human experience.

Amy Merrill, co-founder

Amy Merrill is a creative and activist working at the intersection of art, technology and social change. In 2015, she co-founded Plan C under a shared vision of transforming access to abortion pills by mail in the US. Today the public health initiative has grown into a trusted national resource, a catalyst for new methods of access and support, and a household name for safe self-managed abortion. Amy has been named one of FastCompany’s Most Creative People in Business and as a Rock+Health Systems Disruptor. Amy has a background in nonprofit management and holds 20+ years navigating complex social issues, from human trafficking and gender equity to artist’s rights and free speech. She is also a musician and an amateur homesteader.
