Amanda Davis - Senior Graphic Designer & Art Director

I’m Amanda — a New York–based Senior Graphic Designer & Art Director with 15+ years of experience turning ideas into identities, campaigns, and digital experiences. I work across brand, print, and digital, connecting the dots between how something looks, how it works, and how people experience it.

I’m equal parts creative and technical. I can take an idea from early concept to finished design, then get into the code and make it real. Brand systems, websites, interactive experiences — I like working across disciplines rather than staying in one lane. Design and build have never been separate parts of the job for me.

I’m curious by nature and always experimenting with what’s next. AI is part of my toolkit, not my creative director. I’ve even built my own DJ applications, IDENT and Song Suggest, because I had ideas I wanted to bring to life. Sometimes the best projects start with, “What if I just made this?”

I know how to work within established brands, collaborate with teams, navigate feedback, and carry creative ideas from concept through execution. I care about the big picture, obsess over the little details, and believe good design should do more than just look good.

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.
