RECOMMENDATION
2011 - 2018
Tori Martinez, Former Manager at Bold Technologies and PSA Worldwide, Read on LinkedIn
"You won't find a better designer than Amanda Coburn. Period. Amanda lives and breathes design. Some people do it for their job and set it aside at the end of the workday. For Amanda, it is woven in various ways into the fabric of everything she does: her hobbies, her correspondence, even her observations. And it shows in the meticulous ways she goes about her process. I worked with Amanda at two organizations and both times her style builds and organizational methods were second only to the design work itself, which was always a perfect fit to the project scope. If you need beautiful design work tailored to your specific needs, I highly recommend Amanda Coburn."
