Hey I’m

Amanda

Product Designer. Former CPA. Accidental founder.

I spent 8 years in finance before starting a tax business, building an education company from zero to 500+ students, teaching oil painting, and eventually making the leap into product design.

I bring financial systems thinking, business ownership, and an artist's eye to every product I design. Turns out auditing teaches you to find the flaw in any system, which is a surprisingly useful skill in UX.

Mom of 2. Builder by nature. Uniquely wired for fintech and AI.

She ran user interviews, looked at our existing product, analyzed the gaps in our offering, and using all of her learnings came up with excellent, detailed solutions that she professionally laid out in beautiful mockups.
