Hey, I'm Amanda 👋
I specialize in simplifying complex products, driving cross-functional alignment, and creating user experiences that are consistent, accessible, and a delight to use.
Probably the most nerdy thing about me is that I love untangling complexity. Hand me a mess, and I genuinely light up. I love finding the patterns, connecting the dots, and making something that feels intuitive and simple for both the end users and the teams that build the experience. I’ve worked across Amazon Ads, HubSpot, Procore, and startups, taking on 0–1 initiatives, technical product content, and big alignment challenges. What drives me is curiosity and care: I ask questions, listen closely, and design solutions that support users while helping teams move faster and work more confidently.
Outside of work, I’m happiest amongst the trees on a hiking trail or a plane headed somewhere I've never been before. I love writing, crafting, and finding little moments of joy in ordinary days.
Thanks so much for being here.

Outside of work, I put my design and storytelling skills to good use.
I designed the website and branding, built the social media and product content strategy, and currently lead the overall vision for the business with my partner and co-host.

The Coming Out Guide is a guided resource I’m creating for queer adults, especially those coming out later in life. Through prompts, exercises, and essays addressing educational gaps affecting queer people, it supports self-reflection, core identity, and relationship-building while challenging traditional norms around identity and community. The guide reflects my passion for the queer community and my commitment to creating thoughtful, actionable tools that empower queer adults, especially queer women, through life transitions and toward embracing their authentic selves.
The Coming Out Guide: a self help book for the queer community
Illuminators is a six-part sci-fi fantasy series exploring reality, power, and social control in a multi-dimensional universe entangled with a light-based magic system. The story follows Elayne Bly, a young woman whose emerging abilities make her deadly to those around her. To master her powers, she must journey through six guilds, learning to harness and parse the spectrum of illumination magic, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, discovering that wielding them in harmony is the key to control. As a rebellion brews under a formidable adversary, Elayne must learn her full potential before the city and eventually the universe falls into chaos.
I have completed a draft of the first book in the Illuminators series and am currently working on the second.
