Hi, I’m Amanda!
I am currently a Graphic Designer at Parklife Communications and
graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Appalachian State University.
As a designer, I focus on designing and developing creative solutions in visual identity design, especially branding, packaging, and animation with the mission of engaging in socially conscious ways of designing to create a positive impact across communities.
Outside the design studio, I am passionate about mental health advocacy, having craft nights and days at the farmers market with friends, planning a wedding with my fiancé Jakob, and learning everything I can! Currently, I am learning how to use Unreal Engine, and drawing in Procreate.
