The places where someone pauses, second guesses themselves, or quietly loses trust in the experience.
Over the last 12+ years, I've led research-driven product work across mobile and desktop experiences used by millions of people, translating ambiguity into systems teams can actually design against.

"Amanda is an excellent UX Designer with years of experience, it clearly shows in her work that she is seasoned. Not only does Amanda have the hard skills necessary to be a top performing UX designer. She also has the soft skills necessary to lead teams. It was great having the opportunity to work with Amanda on some fast-paced projects. I now understand the skillset and personality required to be a top-performing UX designer, and I know Amanda will be an asset to any workplace."
Thomas Trudzinski
Fullstack Engineer, AdvanceH2
"Not only is Amanda organized, a great mentor and a fantastic resource for UX best practices, I've never met someone so proactive! Amanda was my Team Lead on a client project at InMotion Software. After our team was struggling to find the best way to utilize a new software, Amanda personally reached out to the company and setup a meeting for our team to talk directly with their product experts. Amanda is so generous - always remembering everyones birthday's and bringing in treats to share with the team! Amanda earns my highest recommendation."
Stephanie Fleury
Principal Designer, The Home Depot
"I worked with Amanda at Q2, where she was a UX Designer. Amanda is a team player who collaborated well with the rest of the UX Design team. She has a particularly special gift for creating modern, aesthetically appealing and usable interfaces for desktops and mobile devices. The commercial payments feature she helped redesign for our financial institutions' business customers led to a dramatic increase in the feature's System Usability Score, and ultimately greater customer satisfaction. I was happy to work with her and believe there's no limit to what she can accomplish in her career"
