About

Hello, I’m AMber!

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator from the Bay Area who recently graduated with a BFA in Art & Design from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. My passion for design has made me the innovative problem solver I am today.

When I’m not in the studio, I love to explore different ways to be creative. I enjoy portrait photography, crafting, and cooking. Currently, you can find me exploring new recipes, enjoying a hot cup of coffee, or creating my personal island paradise in Animal Crossing!

I also have an etsy shop where I sell stickers and prints. Check it out here!
