She is passionate about design’s connection to policy, social justice, environment, food, and community. She works with cultural, media, non-profit, and small business clients to amplify their messages and support their good work. As a critical component to her creative practice, she teaches emerging designers and experiments with traditional crafts and printmaking. 

Prior to starting her independent studio, Amanda worked at traditional graphic and web design agencies, in-house for a non-profit media organization, for a Presidential campaign, and as a co-founder of a community café in rural Alabama. She earned an MFA in Graphic Design from the Maryland Institute College of Art and a BS in Visual Communication Design from The Ohio State University.
