Hello + Welcome!

I’m a fan of the happy accident.

In both fine art and design there seems to be a magic to how things fall into place. I am curious about the world’s complexities and celebrate the unique qualities of the things around us.

Born and raised in Southern California, I’ve spent a lot of time at the ocean. Watching the waves roll in, you may feel the raw power of the world around you. The sea’s depth and mysteries are endless - as are the things that inspire us. Inspiration is unpredictable - the raw force that drives our unique perspective and creativity.

Professionally, I have worked with a range of clients in various industries and specializing in art direction in the fashion industry. I am trained in traditional graphic design and typography. Music, film, contemporary fine art and vintage graphic design inspires my design aesthetic.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to come back an visit anytime - Our Lives in Black is my blog :)

xo, Amanda
