Amy Roiland and Family

Tell us your story! We’d love to hear a little bit about yourselves personally and professionally.

Amy & Ben: We both met on the set of a foster farms chicken commercial because Ben was part of the puppet crew and I was an extra in the line of a club. I started flirting with Ben and I asked for his full name. On break I found him on Facebook and he had his number there so I texted him, he texted me back , Dang girl you QUICK! hahaha. We started dating shortly after that. Ben has been working practical fx for 10 years and is in the middle of writing season 2 of his adult puppet show for comedy central digital, Blark and Son. I am a fashion blogger and have been blogging for 7 years now. I also have my own line of designs AmRoi and I am currently designing a shoe line with a brand. 

How many kids do you have, what ages?

1 girl and she is 7 weeks old: Ryder Bird .

Amy Roiland Baby

Since having baby, have you seen any difference in your ability to balance work and life? Do you feel the creative juices flowing more/less? 

Amy & Ben: We have been balancing everything pretty well actually. A week or two ago I actually did a shoot for my blog and I brought her along in her Doona Stroller, she slept the entire time and my shoot was very quick. Ben loves playing music so he has been playing his bass and Ryder loves to watch him. We have been balancing work and life pretty nicely actually. Ryder is a very good baby.
