Hi! I’m Amanda, a multidisciplinary User Experience Designer with a diverse background in product, instructional, and graphic design. My journey began in higher education, where I focused on implementing online instructional technology to create engaging learning experiences for students.

After relocating to Pittsburgh, PA, and spending another year in higher ed, I said yes to a graphic design opportunity with the Green Dot Agency within Deloitte. There, I supported multiple service lines and CxO offices, honing my skills in in-house design. While I loved the creativity my job required, I missed user-focused problem-solving.

So, while continuing to work full-time at Deloitte, I decided to pursue a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University to further my user experience design and research skillsets which I completed in 2022. Upon graduation, I transitioned officially into user experience design, a culmination of the skills I’d been refining since my first role in education. Currently, at Deloitte, my focus is on Smart Manufacturing solutions.

I leverage my cross-industry experience to bring creative solutions to the table. Beyond creating a “good product,” I aspire to craft experiences that genuinely improve the lives of users. I believe in continuous improvement, honest positivity, and being a good teammate. ❤️
