Bio

I’m Amanda Allen, the founder of Ember & Sage Media. I work with professionals who serve neurodivergent audiences—clinicians, public speakers, and coaches—who are tired of fixing the same files before every session or talk. If your intake forms are hard to read, your slides look different every time, or clients get lost in worksheets, that’s what I fix.

My approach is simple: accessibility first, people first. We lock your core identity and a few clear rules, then turn your everyday materials—forms, decks, worksheets, web pages—into ready-to-use templates your team can run without hand-holding. The payoff is fewer last-minute edits, easier sessions, smoother talks, and a look people trust.

Before Ember & Sage Media, I spent years in hands-on production and in-house marketing, pairing design with practical ops. I bring that same calm, get-it-done energy here: no hype, no hustle-culture pressure; just clear, usable tools that fit real life and real brains.

On Startups.com, I’m here to learn from peers serving ND communities, swap practical tactics, and connect with partners who care about accessibility as much as aesthetics. If you’ve got one nagging piece of collateral that keeps getting “make it clearer” comments, let’s start there.

Elevator Pitch

Ember & Sage Media is a multimedia agency built to deliver accessibility-first brand identities to clinicians, public speakers, and coaches serving neurodivergent audiences.

If people say your forms are hard to read, your slides feel busy, or your worksheets aren't clear, that’s the stuff I clean up. I make your materials easy to read, easy to use, and consistent every time. The payoff is simple: fewer last-minute edits, clients who don’t get lost, talks that run smoother, and a look people trust.

We work together in a collaborative process to set a few clear, easy rules for your branding, and provide you with ready-to-use files so you, or your team, can focus on daily operations with reassurance and clarity.
