​

My passion for design all started back in the day with crayons and slowly but surely turned into what it is today. I have a strong belief in universal design, and designing and developing with accessibility in mind. I am a creative individual and tech junkie who enjoys finding solutions to problems by thinking outside the box. I love instructional design because part of the process is designing the way someone is going to acquire knowledge, and there is not one template to go by, you must create the learning experience. Some of my hobbies include grilling, watching/playing basketball (Go Lakers), going to the beach, and designing things of course! 

Hi, I'm Amanda & I design things.
