Meet Amanda —
the creative behind
Region Design Co.
I'm Amanda — designer, illustrator, and the one-woman creative studio behind Region Design Co.
With a background in fine art and graphic design—and a love for all things bold and fun—I help businesses bring their ideas to life through handcrafted branding, illustration, murals, and packaging that actually feel like them, while attracting their best customers.
Small studio with big ideas
My studio may be small, but it’s packed with big ideas. I’m dependable, communicative, and fully invested — your project will always get my full focus and creativity.
And if there’s something I don’t offer? I’ve got a talented network of creatives I love to collaborate with to bring your vision to life.
If you’re looking for visuals that connect, stand out, and think bigger — you’re in the right place.
From printmaking to purpose-driven design
My journey into design started at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD), where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art Printmaking — with a side of Graphic Design. After graduating,
I spent 15+ years designing for global corporations, creative agencies, all while running a screen printing side hustle with my husband — learning first hand what it takes to create visuals that connect with real people.
That side hustle, Region Press, deepened my love for apparel, product design, and working with small businesses who care
about their story as much as their sales.
In 2023, I launched Region Design Co. full-time — blending my fine art roots with a bold, colorful, experience-driven approach to branding and illustration.
Today, I love helping tourist and hospitality brands stand out with hand-drawn creative that is full of joy and personality.
Stuff I’d probably tell you over coffee…preferably iced
Often seen wearing a funky hair claw or curling my hair to perfection (it’s my best feature), depending on the day and agenda.
I enjoy a sweaty HIIT workout with some weights, always trying to make recipes healthier and full of protein, my family loves it…I mean tolerates it.
I’m tucked away at the bottom of Lake Michigan in the tourist town of La Porte, Indiana — just a quick trip from Chicago and Southwest Michigan.
Brought up in an antique-collecting family, my art style blends modern trends with vintage nostalgia — full of quirks and personality.
You can find me frequently traveling around the U.S. with my husband and two girls, experiencing all the best kitsch tourist destinations and camping in our retro camper.
What guides
my work
Design should do more than just look good — it should feel good. It should tell your story, build real connection, and create a positive brand experience that sticks with people long after they’ve scrolled past, left the store, or walked by your mural.
I believe in handcrafted visuals with purpose, bold ideas, a sprinkle of nostalgia, and a whole lot of heart. Good vibes only — but backed by real strategy, creativity, and care.
What they’re saying
Region Design Co. is a gem of a business born out of the NWI region, and their designs stand out from the crowd.
"I've been fortunate enough to work with Region Design Co. On many projects (probably 15 or so now), from banners to shirts, and logos for my band and for my car club. Timeliness, great communication, and translating your jumbled ideas into a crisp tangible idea is what you can expect working with Amanda."
[The mural] was a great addition
to the event and Amanda was amazing!
“I had a wonderful experience working with Amanda from Region Design Co. for our 5 year anniversary market. She collaborated with another local artist, Melissa from Indigo Ink Designs to create a beautiful custom backdrop. Our guests were even able to help paint it throughout the day as it was completely interactive!
She took things like our branding and style into consideration when creating the design and made the perfect piece for our event.”
Not only is Amanda professional and kind, she cares about creating a design that resonates with her customers.
“Amanda was so wonderful to work with when I created my LLC. She took tons of time to understand my business and its origin, stayed true to a concept and design my daughter and I created, and delivered me beautiful branding that felt PERFECT. She is confident but also open to your input.”
Let’s dream big
and make it real
Whether it's a bold mural, a personality-packed brand, or a merch collection that needs a little extra wow — I'm here to turn big ideas into beautiful realities.
