Communication design · MassArt, Boston

Designing everyday things that feel personal.

I’m Amanda, a design student at MassArt. I make brands, apps and spaces, from a café identity to a wedding app for couples and their guests.

Currently

Looking for design and marketing internships for summer 2027.
