CREATIVE GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Hi, I'm Amanda Eichels
My passion for creativity started when I was young, whether it was drawing with chalk, building with pop-sickle sticks or simply decorating for the holidays. After high school, that passion led me to explore UI/UX design and graphic design. I completed my four-year degree at Franklin University where I was immersed into Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and other apps in Creative Cloud. I've worked in teams, and on my own, and emerged with a portfolio that includes brochures, newsletters, logos, posters, and business cards. I’ve always loved bringing the vision of others, or my own, to life in dynamic graphics, and I bring that into every graphic design project I take on.
​
When I’m not busy designing, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two dogs. We have a deep love for travel, but at the same time, cherish cozy moments at home, often diving into a good book or getting lost in video games. My DIY spirit keeps me constantly on the lookout for new projects to tackle, whether it’s crafting, home improvement, or upcycling. This blend of hobbies and interests not only enriches my life but also fuels my creativity, providing endless inspiration for my design work. I believe that a well-rounded life leads to well-rounded design, and I’m excited to share my journey and creations with you!
