Hi, I’m Amanda.

I began my career in architecture but quickly discovered my passion for user experience design. In both fields, I strive for refined simplicity, addressing real user needs while creating moments of delight.

By taking a holistic approach to design, combining problem-solving skills with empathy, I craft seamless experiences that drive user engagement and align with business objectives.
