Hi I’m Manda!

I’m a Product Designer who thrives on creating beautiful, functional products and working alongside brilliant teams. Whether flying solo or collaborating in fast-paced environments, I’m always expanding my skills and pushing my creative boundaries.

About Me

I’ve been designing for the web since my teenage years, when I first discovered the magic of the internet. During college, I worked at a high-volume print shop, learning all about the print industry and how I fit into it as a designer. Graduating cum laude from Texas State University opened the door to some incredible opportunities.

Throughout my career, I’ve worn many hats: working solo on projects, collaborating with fast-paced, multidisciplinary teams, and even leading a design department, where I hired and managed junior designers, interns, and photographers.

After a few years of freelancing and contracting, I realized I was missing that sense of community. It turns out, I thrive on collaborating with brilliant minds to create beautiful, useful products, while constantly growing as a designer. Who knew?!

I am a firm believer that everything is figureoutable, whether it’s a deep-dive on Google or an online course. And when I’m not enjoying one of those favorite things below, I’m probably dreaming up some more cute items for my shop!
