My
Story
My name is Amanda and I love to tell stories.
In 2013, I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a BFA in Digital Art. Since then, my time has been split working professionally as a video editor and writing/illustrating stories in my free time. I am working all the time to evolve, learn, and improve. My stories have been making a splash in some national competitions and my illustrations were recently chosen to be part of the 2025 Picture Book Party Illustration showcase.
When I am not working, you can find me in the mountains exploring with my husband and dog.
