I build and advocate for trustworthy, intuitive, and human-centered products and experiences. I love to leverage user research and behavioral psychology to drive positive outcomes for people and companies.
Since 2018, I've designed with words at startups and large technology companies, including Meta and TikTok. Right now, I'm at PayPal, dabbling in the PayPal consumer app and Venmo app experiences.
Outside of work, I enjoy writing creatively. I also practice flânerie, the art of exploring urban environments on foot.

"When Amanda joined our team, she took on the challenge of blending a thoughtful, strategic approach while condensing information for clarity and cognition. Her keen sensibility for consistency led her to create documentation and resources in our Trust & Safety vertical content that would help drive conversations around product strategy. She also produced several process docs and artifacts to help her content design team members establish more standardized working methods with their cross-functional partners—this was so valuable for our fast-growing, fast-moving team."

"What sets Amanda apart from others is her empathy for people using the product we make. It's hard to instill compassion for users when there are so many different business objectives that cloud us, yet she continually advocates for solutions that bring care to our users. This means thinking outside the box, challenging the status quo, and using research to find out about our users. Amanda has shown that content isn't just words, but rather it's understanding who we're writing for while making sure we bring psychological safety to them."

"I would highly recommend Amanda for any writing role—particularly roles that deal with technical concepts or integrity issues. As an added bonus, she is also a delight to work with: friendly, clear and professional."
