02 / HOW I CAN HELP
From rough idea
to finished piece.
A thoughtful eye, practical experience, and personal attention—whether you’re starting a business, publishing a book, or preserving a memory.
Brand & print
Logos, business cards, apparel, packaging, and promotional pieces that help your story feel consistent wherever it appears. I use Adobe Illustrator for vector graphics and identity design, with Adobe Photoshop for image editing and mockups.
IDENTITY · PRINT · APPAREL
Web design
Clear, approachable websites for small businesses and community organizations, with help keeping content and images up to date. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator support my preparation of web images, logos, and graphics.
DESIGN · UPDATES · ADMINISTRATION
Books & publications
Book covers, page layouts, coffee table books, and self-publishing support. I use Adobe InDesign for page layout and typography, with Photoshop for photographs and Illustrator for graphic elements. Careful kerning, leading, and tracking give every story room to shine.
COVERS · LAYOUT · SELF-PUBLISHING
Photos & memories
Photography, retouching, and restoration of photographs, slides, and negatives—bringing images back into a form you can enjoy and share. Adobe Photoshop is part of my workflow for restoring damage, adjusting color, retouching, and preparing images for print or web.

ECHO//TETHER
A birthday surprise made with love, imagination, and a little adventure.
ONE STORY, MANY WAYS TO ENJOY IT
Different worlds.
The same beat.
I made ECHO//TETHER as a birthday surprise for my grandchildren, turning them and their pets into the stars of their own adventure. It grew into a comic, a cover, a poster, and a short video, with AI-assisted artwork helping bring the story to life. I had so much fun making something just for them, and I’d love to do the same for other families—celebrating your children, honoring a beloved pet, or turning a favorite family memory into a keepsake you can enjoy together.
A short look at the story in motion.

Stories made to keep.

Hello, I’m Amanda.
A designer, artist, and storyteller with a soft spot for projects that mean something.
For more than 20 years, I’ve helped small businesses tell their stories, created designs for churches and community celebrations, and brought photographs hidden in old slides and negatives back to life.
Living and working in a small Texas town has taught me to listen carefully and make the most of what a client has. I’ve self-published coffee table books and created comics for my grandchildren, so I know just how personal a creative project can be.
My hands-on experience with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign spans photo restoration, vector design, branding, and publication layout. From kerning, leading, and tracking to the way a photograph feels, I care about the details. I’m also exploring AI and new technology to build on my experience, and I welcome contract design and publication work.
