So fun!

If you’ve ever had to use stock photography for a project you know how painful it can be to click through page after page of horrible, laughable, nauseating photography. I usually start to get surly after about four pages, and somewhere around the 12 page mark I get the delirious giggle going. Having spent a [...]

Hello

My name is Amanda Parker and I am a graphic designer in Columbus, Ohio. I work with the amazing team at Elevate Thinking and love the daily changes and challenges that design brings.

I also believe that being well rounded is essential to being a good designer. While this site started off as a tool for my freelance design company, it has slowly started to transition into an outlet where I can highlight all of the things that catch my attention or share my personal experiences.

Music and late nights play are a huge part of my life. I write, read, teach yoga, take road trips, go to more concerts than I probably should, and spend time with good people as much as possible.
