Amanda Ford’s Summary

I am a multi-disciplinary art director and designer living in Brooklyn with a dog named Pixel, a serious magazine collection, and a constant itch to create something. When I'm not at my dayjob, I am often working on personal and freelance projects for print and web. I gravitate towards the music, entertainment, and fashion industries, but I'm always up for a new challenge.
