Extended Bio: Ami Heidi Sueki Ami is an industrial designer working at The Coca-Cola Company based in Atlanta, Georgia (or just a huge science nerd who wears cool shoes and does design). She was born in Knoxville TN, in a Japanese household. Her mother named her Ami, which is a Japanese name meaning Asia and success, along with a German name, Heidi, next to it. Heidi comes from one of her mother's favorite children's fiction book "Heidi" by Joanna Spyri, which was very popular in Japan as an animated film. "To always hold curiosity, enthusiasm, and kindness" were her mother's wishes. Also, her last name Sueki comes from a Samurai family in Okayama, Japan. Her multicultural background influences her design and drives her vision. She holds great pride to her name because it is her origin and her future; she will always be the one and only Heidi.
