About Amanda Nelson

Amanda sure knows how to mix it up. She consistently blends her traditional print sensibilities with some wild digital techniques to create incredibly original designs. A fresh-faced publisher by the age of 21, Amanda has run some biggie national magazines and even started several of her own. Her quirky, humorous style often comes through in her design via little tongue-in-cheek touches that are uniquely hers (just look closely and you're sure to spot the goofiness). Amanda has created some rocking designs for major brands like Disney, Samsung, Universal Studios, FOX Studios, Paramount, BCBG Max Azria, Honda, Wal*Mart, Norwegian, FIJI Water, Bank of New York, Frederick's of Hollywood, Tiffany & Co. and Cartier. With a BFA in Computer Animation*, it should come as no surprise to find Amanda wandering around the office dressed like a cartoon. Well, one of those kick-butt comic book characters, of course. A diehard design geek, she can (spookily) name fonts on sight. She is also proud to have won two major magazine design awards in the last few years. Why I'm talking in the third person, is beyond me, but prolly too late to go back!AREAS OF EXPERTISEConcept Design | 360 Marketing Design | Content Strategy | Brand Development Desktop Publishing | Project Management | Graphic Design | Print Production Advertising | Prepress | Corporate Identity | Exhibition Designer | Presentation Design Digital | Social | Web | UX/UI | Product / Packaging | Photography | Adobe Creative Suite | Microsoft Office Suite
