Amanda Davis - Senior Graphic Designer & Art Director

I’m Amanda — a New York–based Senior Graphic Designer & Art Director. I’ve spent 15+ years building brand identities and the print and digital work that carries them: landing pages, campaign creative, and full websites.

I design in Adobe and Figma, then build the thing — HTML, CSS, WordPress, or clean front-end structure a dev team can pick up. Design and build have never been separate parts of the job for me.

I build with AI tools the way I build with anything else — with a clear intent and a lot of revision. That’s how IDENT and Song Suggest exist: two working apps I designed, built, and use in my own DJ work every week. One preps a music library for a live set, the other reads what’s playing and suggests what could follow.

Most of my work happens inside someone else’s brand guidelines and someone else’s review cycle. I present concepts, take feedback, revise, and hand off organized files and guidelines so the team can run the work after I’m done.

Off the Clock

I DJ — clubs, radio, and events around the Hudson Valley. On the clock I’m still reading the room; the tools just look different.

Outside of that: my dog Hank, long walks, and CrossFit. I’ll drive out of my way for a good sunset or a place I’ve never eaten — new spots, new towns, doesn’t matter. Adidas, always. And there’s always a Harmless Harvest in the fridge.
