Background

About Amanda Murray

I am an Ottawa-based creator with a background working with people of various demographics. As a former Developmental Services Worker in special education, I have worked diligently to guide clients through their daily routines. I have also grown strong problem-solving skills by understanding and supporting their exact needs. From this experience, I have been inspired to focus on human-centred interaction through the creative world of design. As a graduate of Toronto Film School, I have a strong knowledge of graphic design theory and principles. In addition to that, I have extensive experience using Adobe Creative Suite software, including InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Character, and XD. As a designer, I have been described as detail-oriented, organized and efficient with excellent interpersonal skills. My creativity is my passion and I value the equity in collaboration. I believe great design enhances communication, function and aesthetics. As someone who is forward-thinking and interested in always building upon my skills, I do not steer from new challenges; I invite them. amandamurray.design/
