Amy Malkan, Founder and CEO of The Malkan Group is a Houston based muralist, public speaker and author who has dedicated her career and passion into transforming public spaces into vibrant works of art.

Raised by very traditional Indian parents, Amy found herself going the predictable route of college but when that was ultimately not where her passion was she left and moved to Australia for a year. When she came back to the states she found herself working and succeeding in corporate sales and professional development teams but still never felt like she was fulfilling her purpose which turned out to be…….ART!!!

Amy then transitioned to a full-time artist and worked to understand the nuances of painting murals and how to make it a successful business model while inspiring, empowering, and motivating those around her.

The story of how she has done this is truly amazing and definitely proves she is Street Smart.
