About
I’m an artist and storyteller on a mission to create art and experiences that lead to moments of joy and awe. My curiosity always seems to get the best of me and I think that’s ok. On any given day, you’ll find me knee-deep in a beehive, up on a ladder, cutting, gluing, and scribbling on the floor, or seeking out feedback from my colleagues— always flipping tasks upside down, around, or backwards to look at them in new ways. I love to share, to exchange ideas. While the bits of knowledge that I have collected are personally satisfying, when I share them with others, they take on new life.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
With 15+ years working in the visual arts, non-profit, and marketing fields, I have the creative skills and experience to execute your vision. In every project, there is a great story and it’s my superpower to find it and put it into language that sings. I pride myself on my attention to detail, my professionalism, and my ability to attain a high level of quality regardless of budget and/or other limitations.
WHY CHOOSE ME?
Creativity. Curiosity. Collaboration. These words get to the heart of who I am, as a professional and as a human being living in the world. I am the whole package; in choosing me, you get a writer, a manager, an artist, an educator, and a designer, all in one.
Everything is better when it’s made from scratch. That’s true whether it’s a loaf of sourdough bread, a chocolate chip cookie, a museum exhibition or a blog post.
Professional, knowledgeable, and creative, Amanda is easy to work with and an asset to any project. Her artist’s perspective was a helpful complement to our firm’s skill set. She could translate feedback and turnaround a new
round of designs that were right in line with what the client requested. Her production kept up with fast-paced deadlines and she easily blended with the team. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.
— Steven Peters, Creative Director, SmokeSygnals
Amanda took on an exhibit project for our museum with an incredibly tight deadline. She delivered a beautiful product ahead of schedule. In addition to being a superbly talented graphic designer, Amanda is an exceptional project manager and problem solver. I give her my highest recommendation as the “go to” person for nonprofits and small businesses looking for a true partner in producing creative work, from exhibition panels to publications and more.
— Sally Piccini, Executive Director, Woods Hole Historical Museum
Amanda is, without a doubt, the best graphic designer I have ever worked with. Her ability to take a simple idea or brief and transform it into a visually compelling design is remarkable. Not only does she understand exactly what is needed, but she also delivers stunning designs that perfectly capture the essence of the concept. Her creativity and attention to detail are top-notch, and she always manages to meet deadlines without compromising on quality.
