My philosophy is that design serves a clear and defined purpose, while art serves the artist. I navigate both worlds with intention and creativity.​

A Bit About Me

I’m Amanda Skapnit, a designer and artist who thrives at the intersection of strategy and creativity. With a background in graphic design, branding, and digital media, I craft compelling visuals that not only look great but serve a purpose. My approach is thoughtful, research-driven, and rooted in an understanding of how people interact with design.

​

As a designer, I specialize in creating intuitive, engaging experiences—whether through branding, marketing materials, or multimedia projects. My work blends technical precision with a strong narrative, ensuring every piece resonates with its audience. I’ve collaborated with brands like T. Rowe Price, Detroit Metro Chevy Dealers, and Campbell’s, bringing their visions to life with bold, impactful design.

​

Beyond design, I’m an artist fascinated by immersive experiences. I’ve worked in sculpture, mixed media, and public art, with my pieces showcased in exhibitions and community events. This artistic mindset fuels my design work, helping me think outside the box and push creative boundaries.

​

I’m always looking for new opportunities to create, solve problems, and make meaningful connections through design. Let’s build something great together.
