Client Spotlight: Amy Murnane of Murnane Monograms

Before embroidery became her signature, music was Amy’s first language. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Therapy and is classically trained on piano. Over the years, she has taught piano for 25 years, led preschool music classes, played folk guitar, and sung in choirs. Music shaped how she sees the world, patiently, rhythmically, and with deep attention to detail.

At home, Amy is a mother of five. She has four sons between the ages of 19 and 23, and a ten-year-old daughter who keeps life lively in a different way. Her days are full but grounded in simple pleasures: tending to her garden, surrounding herself with flowers, enjoying coffee and meaningful conversation, and creating spaces that feel comfortable and cozy. These details matter to her, and it shows in everything she touches.

Amy’s business grew naturally, almost quietly, from a lifetime spent behind a sewing machine. Her mother was a quilter, and Amy grew up watching fabric become something meaningful through careful hands and thoughtful work. In the early 2000s, she purchased a sewing machine that could also embroider, transitioning from hand embroidery to something more expansive.

She began stitching for her children, creating gifts for family and friends, and adding embroidered details throughout her home. Friends started asking for pieces of their own, and those early requests slowly turned into loyal clients. Many of those first customers still work with her today, a testament to both her craftsmanship and the trust she builds with people.

Through Murnane Monograms, Amy offers fully customized embroidery services for individuals and businesses alike. She works with everyone from small boutiques to global luxury brands, ensuring each design aligns seamlessly with the brand’s aesthetic. She also offers on-site embroidery for events and parties, adding a thoughtful, interactive element that guests remember long after the event ends.

What makes her work meaningful is not just the precision of the embroidery, but the emotion behind it. Amy loves knowing that what she creates becomes part of someone’s story. Whether it’s an heirloom piece or a practical item made special through personalization, her work is meant to be used, loved, and kept through generations.

Amy became a Concihairge client when her youngest was just one year old. Like many mothers, she found traditional salon visits stressful and rushed. Between childcare logistics, noisy environments, and time constraints, self-care felt more exhausting than restorative.

Concihairge changed that. With in-home services, Amy could continue living her life while her hair processed. She folded laundry, sent emails, tidied up, or simply enjoyed quiet conversation. Most importantly, she didn’t have to rush. She describes her nearly nine years with Concihairge as more than just hair appointments. They gave her time back, comfort, and a sense of calm that stayed with her long after the service ended.

To celebrate her feature, Amy is offering something special to fellow Concihairge clients. During the months of January and February, she is offering a discounted set of four personalized linen cocktail napkins for $35, including shipping. It’s a small luxury that feels both personal and timeless, perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself.

Amy lives by the simple but powerful belief, “If I can help, I must.” It’s a philosophy that shows up in her generosity, her patience, and the care she puts into every stitch. When she needs an energy boost, you might find her listening to Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer”, a fitting background for her lasting and cherished monograms.

She also recommends Shuler Studio, a design company specializing in custom monograms across digital, print, and embroidery, a natural complement to her own work.
