Amanda Olson
As an artist who has worked in the industry for over fifteen years, I can tell you that each new job, client, success and failure, every single experience, has helped shape me into the skilled and dedicated creative person that I am today. Design, illustration, and copywriting all hold a special place in my heart, but I have finally decided that illustration is where I need to focus my attention. Starting out in a direct mail catalog company helped me learn the ropes and all that goes into publishing, marketing, printing, and designing a publication for print, and doing it on tight deadlines. When I took work as a designer in a high-end printer and eventually joined a design team at an independent advertising agency, I refined and polished my skills. I eventually moved on to develop and teach a graphic design career program at the high school level.
