Xpert Hours: Su 8:00-9:00P

Amanda (amandaq@uga.edu) is wrapping up her final semester in the Emerging Media Masters program at UGA. A proud Bulldog, Amanda earned her BFA in Art Education in 2012 but skipped the classroom and dove headfirst into the graphic design world. Since then, she’s built a diverse career across several industries and now leads a team of graphic designers and freelance artists as the Senior Creative Director at Emory University.

Expertise: Graphic design, creative consulting, branding, Adobe CC (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), and general design critiques.

Aside from video editing, if it’s an Adobe question, Amanda’s probably got you cover. Ask her anything about Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. She can generally point you in the right direction with WordPress since she’s used it on and off through her career. If you’ve got general design questions or whether your work is up to snuff for the real world, hit her up.

“I did everything right, but my code is still broken!” – she can prob help with those situations, too, but don’t ask her a deep dive question about JavaScript because she will cry.

Fun human stuff: Amanda brings a delightful mix of humor and creativity to the table. She’s a fan of live music, art, design, meeting cuddly creatures, french fries, wedge salads, travel adventures, spooky vibes, and hiding tiny objects around town just for fun. Her dog, Piper is certifiably cute.
