TESTIMONIALS

ISABEL ALLEN
Editor, Architecture Today. Editorial Director BEAM Intelligence.
Amanda is absolutely brilliant to work with. She listens carefully, asks the right questions, and produces outstanding work in an incredibly short space of time. I have commissioned her for a variety of projects including print, website design and branding, and she has exceeded expectations every time. She is both highly creative and incredibly pragmatic, making her a particularly valuable member of the team when a design project has to navigate the interests of different stakeholders. She is quick to understand the various agendas at play, and has the very rare skill of synthesising a complex brief into work that looks intuitive, elegant and fresh. 

JANE & BEN MASCHLER
The Compasses Inn, Lower Chicksgrove, Tisbury.
We worked with Amanda on a selection of menus for our pub. Amanda was absolutely brilliant, professional and always remained positive, calm and upbeat no matter how complicated the brief became – her style is beautiful, her attention to detail is immaculate, she resolved and turned around any issue within the blink of an eye. A total pleasure to work with and the result was stunning. 

KARL O’HANLON
