Hi There! I'm AMBER.
I'm a graphic designer based in the Charlotte Metro area of North Carolina. Art and design have always been such a large part of my life. I cannot think of any moment where both were not tied to who I am. I have 15 years of experience in the Graphic Design industry because I am truly passionate about my work. I have worked in packaging design, marketing design, web design, branding, and I have extensive experience in print production.
As a designer, I always aim to create pieces that catch the eye while making the intended feel and message clear to those who lay their eyes upon it. Every little detail is another opportunity to send a visual message. My creativity and love of art make me a designer, but my curiosity, versatility, and problem-solving skills make me a great designer.
