NICE TO MEET YOU.

Hello, my name is Amanda. I'm a creative thinker who develops graphic and frontend web solutions for global brands. Outside of work, you can find me mulling over ideas for my latest creative hobbies, or cruising around town on my motorcycle. I am a serial enthusiast and I love to learn about new subjects from all sorts of backgrounds. I always value constructive criticism, and face any and all challenges with an open mind and eager attitude.
