Hi, I'm Amanda.
I am a designer, animal lover and creative innovator.
​
I recently received a Master’s degree in Industrial Design from North Carolina State University and have Bachelors degree in Digital Design.
​
I get inspiration by embracing the diversity in people. Their differences in shape, size, height, and color create multiple possibilities of solving collective problems. I also get to see the world through others’ eyes.
​
Design is the path I have chosen because it has given me the opportunity to be creative, innovative, and embrace unorthodox methods of designing for user needs. With design I can make a difference in individuals’ lives.
Profile
I am a passionate web designer, ux/ui designer, industrial designer, graphic designer, and design research enthusiast, based in Charlotte, NC. I am a multifaceted designer and ready to share my expertise. Known for my hardworking ethic and exceptional people skills.
