Minding the Vision – and the Details

Mosaic Collective, LLC is a member-managed partnership owned by Holly and Nathan Ambuehl. We’ve been married since 2009 and have have one dinosaur and Minecraft loving son. We enjoy Arts and Crafts design, which is reflected in the colors of the Mosaic Collective logo and in our home, a 1917 American Foursquare in Normal’s Highland Historic District. You may follow along with our home renovations on Instagram – see #theAmbuehlMoneyPit.

Holly achieved a master’s degree in social work from Boston College, with concentration in community organizing, policy, planning, and administration, and a bachelor of arts from Anderson University in family counseling and psychology. Her prior work experience includes jobs in all four sectors: private, philanthropic, public, and nonprofit. She is also the photographer behind Mosaic Collective Photography. Holly is a Phoenix native and mountain girl at heart, but has lived and worked in nine states around the US (AZ, IN, CO, MI, MA, CA, OK, WY, IL). In her early 20’s, she spent over a year living in rural Romania, where she worked for a community development startup organization. That experience taught her the realities of poverty and turned her attention to social justice work.

She bring all of this diverse life experience, and plenty of passion and conviction, to all of her work. Connect with Holly on Linked In.
