CREATIVE STATEMENT
My name is Amanda Brady and I’ve been a graphic designer and illustrator for 15 years. I’ve worked on national brands, packaging, surface designs, and kids' publications. My bubbly, cartoony style is energetic and fun. I love adding humor and hidden bonus characters into my pieces. I always aim to create a loveable character and an imaginative, unique world that inspires readers.
