Design that puts your place on the map.
Branding, illustration, and murals for spaces full of energy, color, and heart.
I work with museums, visitor centers, shops, and community spots near the coast of Lake Michigan. Serving Northwest Indiana, Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and beyond to create designs that’s full of personality and impossible to ignore.
From hand-drawn maps to playful signage, bold brands to
wall-sized murals — it’s all about helping your space come alive.
Design made for
places worth visiting
I team up with the kind of places people go out of their way to visit. Big on personality, rooted in community, and ready to show the world what they’re made of.
Some of my favorite places to design for are:
Museums and art centers
Parks, visitor centers,
and tourism teams
Boutique hotels, lodging, Airbnbs
Local attractions, festivals,
and family-friendly experiences
Gift shops, retailers,
and indie storefronts
Restaurants and food trucks
Every space
has a story, and
we help tell it.
Branding & Visual Identity
Logos, colors and visual vibes that match the magic of your space.
Murals & Signage
Head-turning murals, wayfinding that works, and walls that beg
to be photographed and shared.
Illustration & Merch
From maps and mascots
to postcards and pins —
if it tells your story,
I can draw it.
Product & Packaging
Eye-catching packaging
and retail-ready
design made to fly off
store shelves.
How we help you attract a crowd,
keep them smiling, and turn your space into their favorite stop
1. Discover
We kick things off by getting curious. What makes your place unique? What vibe are we trying to capture? Whether it's the joy of a play space, the history of a museum or the charm of a local shop, we dig into what matters most.
2. Design
Once we’ve nailed the vibe,
I start sketching, mapping and bringing your vision to life. This is where things get fun — you'll see ideas take shape, and the excitement usually kicks in fast.
3. Deliver
From polished brand files to mural installs or merch mockups, you’ll get everything you need to launch, hang, print or share. No confusion, no fluff — just good design that does the job.
Hey, I’m Amanda.
I’m a designer, illustrator, and muralist based just outside Chicago in La Porte, Indiana — a small town with a big heart (and some pretty great lakes too). I specialize in design for places people love
to visit.
With over 15 years of experience, I work with tourism and hospitality brands across Chicago, Northwest Indiana, and Southwest Michigan — and thanks to the magic of the internet, I also collaborate with businesses across the Midwest
and beyond.
I bring big ideas to life with color, charm, and strategy. I care
deeply about creating visuals that help people feel something — welcomed, curious, inspired, and proud. If your space deserves
that kind of impact, you’re in the right place.
