Tagline
I’m a trauma-informed brand strategist and founder of AMA Designs & Productions, where I help overlooked entrepreneurs build accessible, investor-ready identities rooted in clarity, never hustle culture.
Bio
I’m Amanda M. Allen—multimedia designer, photographer, and founder of AMA Designs & Productions. With an A.A.S. in Visual Communications and Adobe certifications in Illustrator and Photoshop, I’ve spent the last decade turning complex ideas into clear, inclusive visuals.
My path runs from leading production art for music-festival posters and vehicle wraps at The Shop Co. to steering marketing strategy at Frankston Packaging, where I honed data-driven storytelling and brand growth. Since 2021 I’ve freelanced under AMA Designs & Productions, delivering end-to-end branding: identity systems, websites, social-media kits, and print collateral. My experience at Frankston Packaging recalibrated my priorities; now every deliverable is built on WCAG-level accessibility and trauma-informed empathy, guided by a sharper, strategy-first vision.
I thrive on advocacy-first design—pairing curiosity with critical thinking so clients can scale without sacrificing values. Now, I’m focused on securing a $25 K pre-seed round, expanding my studio with its first contractor, and proving that ethical, accessibility-driven branding isn’t just possible—it’s profitable.
