She has nearly 20 years experience as a brand consultant, art director and graphic designer. Amanda spent the first 10 years of her career in Ottawa, where governmental agencies kept her busy but not terribly inspired. In 2010, her family moved to southwestern Ontario to start an organic vegetable farm and this presented her with the opportunity to work directly with entrepreneurs and business owners. She also enjoys sharing her knowledge through various teaching gigs and mentoring younger designers. She is the mother of 3 children who share her love of good food, vintage shopping and travel.

Skills

I'm thinking a lot about...

“Typography, vintage packaging design, and food! My husband operates an organic vegetable farm, which puts us at the heart of a vibrant foodie community. We also travel extensively during his downtime, which provides me access to constant inspiration around food culture. My travel photos tend to be of signage and packaging ...!”

You should hire me because...

“My design process isn't ego-driven. I want you to sell more product, so sometimes that means facing some harsh truths. If there's a direction we need to take to get there, I'll be the first to tell you so. I also have a degree in engineering, so I'm no stranger to project management and meeting timelines and budgets.”
